Blencowe H, et al. - Via a population-based national or nationally representative datasets of 148 countries, the researchers targeted to assist a baseline to assess progress towards the achievement of the World Health Assembly targets of low birthweight (LBW) children. However, some progress in reducing LBW between 2000 and 2015, achieving the 2·74% average annual reduction rate required between 2012 and 2025 to meet the global nutrition target would require more than doubling progress, involving both improved measurement and programme investments to address the causes of LBW throughout the lifecycle is suggested.
