SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: Poor childhood nutritional status has lifetime effects and food insecurity is associated with dietary practices that can impair nutritional status. In 4 countries, food insecurity at 5 y of age was associated with both HAZ and BMI-Z at age 8 y, although the association was attenuated after adjusting for other household factors and anthropometry at age 5 y, and remained significant only for the HAZ in Vietnam.
