Brief summary (registry, in English)
Globally, populations are experiencing increases in the double burden of malnutrition, commonly defined as maternal overweight/obesity and child stunting in the same household. This study will evaluate an integrated intervention combining food supplementation for pregnant and postpartum women and their infants with behavioral counseling to promote healthy maternal weight, nutrition, physical activity, and infant feeding practices. The goal is to reduce the double burden of malnutrition in rural Indigenous communities in Guatemala.
