[HTML][HTML] Effect of supplemental zinc on the growth and serum zinc concentrations of prepubertal children: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Background: Multiple studies have been carried out to assess the effect of zinc
supplementation on children's growth. The results of these studies are inconsistent, and the
factors responsible for these varied outcomes are unknown. Objective: Meta-analyses of
randomized controlled intervention trials were therefore completed to assess the effect of
zinc supplementation on the physical growth and serum zinc concentrations of prepubertal
children. Design: A total of 33 acceptable studies with appropriate data were identified by …
