Summary

• "Based on an international workshop held in St. Petersburg, Russia, this volume examines public health issues related to infant and child nutrition in developing, transitional, and industrialized countries. Chapters discuss the interaction between malnutrition and infectious diseases and the consequences and prevention of micronutrient deficiencies. Full consideration is given to interventions for promoting breast-feeding and strategies for reducing HIV transmission through breast feeding.
• The contributors review various programs for improving complementary feeding and methods for preventing microbial contamination of complementary foods. The workshop also reviews recent research on the role of infant nutrition in preventing adult diseases such as obesity, glucose intolerance, and cardiovascular disease."--BOOK JACKET.
