Brief Description about the Project

Healthy growth from conception through early childhood is critical for long-term physical health, cognitive capacity, and overall productivity. Assessing children's growth is essential for evaluating both individual health and broader socioeconomic development within communities. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards—based on the Multicenter Growth Reference Study (MGRS) conducted over 20 years ago—are widely used. However, practices supporting optimal child growth have evolved, and the Indian data used in WHO-MGRS (collected from South Delhi) is often considered non-representative of the country's diverse population.

To address these gaps, a prospective cohort study is being conducted across six regions in India to develop updated growth and neurodevelopmental standards for children from 0-24 months under optimal biological, socioeconomic, and behavioral conditions.
