![[Literature Library] A systematic review to examine whether effects of early life intervention on linear growth correspond to effects on neurobehavioral development](/sites/default/files/styles/3_2/public/2019-11/image%284%29_0_3.jpg?itok=saHC4yEZ)
This systematic review found that effects of early life intervention on length-for-age Z scores (LAZ) or height-for-age Z scores (HAZ) were significantly associated with social emotional scores, but not cognitive, language, or motor development scores. Caregiving, as a category of interventions, was found to have 4 to 5 times greater effect on developmental outcomes than that of nutritional supplementation.
