Longitudinal Studies and Policy for Children in Low- and Middle-income Countries

Despite being an established feature of social science research in high-income countries, the cost and complexity of longitudinal studies mean they are a comparative rarity in low- and middle-income countries. This chapter examines longitudinal evidence from the Young Lives study in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam to analyse how inequalities between groups of children become established. First, the chapter identifies that developmental differences between groups of children emerge very early in life.

Wealth Index and Risk of Childhood Overweight and Obesity

Objectives: To estimate the incidence and risk of childhood overweight and obesity according to socioeconomic status in Peruvian and Vietnamese school-aged children.

Methods: Longitudinal data from the Young Lives study were analyzed. Exposure was wealth index in tertiles. Outcome was overweight and obesity. Cumulative incidence per 100 children-years, relative risks (RR), and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) were calculated. A hierarchical approach, including child- and family-related variables, was followed to construct multivariable models.
