Each paper is supplemented with editorial comments aiming to highlight lessons that can be learnt. This seventh edition of the yearbook provides a significant contribution to the understanding and management of various aspects of nutrition and growth. It is intended to help healthcare providers in all related areas to study and treat key issues in this field.
