Agricultural Production and the Nutritional Status of Family Members in Tanzania
研究了农作物产值和牲畜所有权对坦桑尼亚农业家庭中儿童、青少年和成人营养状况的影响，发现两者对10岁以下儿童营养有显著正向作用，且效果因年龄和性别而异。
The paper studies the effect of crop output value and livestock ownership on the nutrition of children, adolescents and adults in agricultural households. Using anthropometric data to measure nutritional status, this paper finds that both crop values and large livestock ownership have positive and significant effects on the nutrition of children under age 10. The effects persist after controlling for household socioeconomic status. Higher crop values and ownership of livestock are linked to better long-term indicators of nutrition (height-for-age) among the youngest children and better short-term indicators (BMI-for-age and weight-for-age) among older children. The effects also vary between boys and girls.
