After LNS supplementation ended at 12 months, early-weaned HIV-exposed children on traditional complementary diets had high prevalence of energy (65%), fat (81%), vitamin A (46%), and folate (69%) inadequacy, with overall energy intake composed of 66% carbohydrate, 11% protein, and 22% fat (below the 30-40% AMDR for fat).
Effect sizeEnergy deficient: ~65%; fat inadequate: 81%; vitamin A inadequate: 46%; folate inadequate: 69%; vitamin B6 inadequate: 20%; vitamin C inadequate: 13%; iron inadequate: 19%; zinc inadequate: 23%

Effect modifiers[{"modifier": "sex", "interaction_p": "p<0.05 (Student's t-test)", "direction": "amplifies", "stratum_details": "Girls consumed 20% of calories from fat and 69% from carbohydrate; boys consumed 24% from fat and 64% from carbohydrate.", "plain_language": "Girls ate even less fat and more carbohydrate than boys. Neither met the recommended fat intake, but girls fell further from the 30-40% recommendation.", "annotation_notes": "Boys were 3.9x more likely to receive milk, 1.2x more likely to receive animal products and vegetable oil. Girls were 1.44x more likely to consume fruits."}]
