Background: Although growth stunting, height for age Z score (HAZ) <-2SD, results from sustained poor diet and frequent infection both of which are influenced by social and biophysical factors, few studies have used a transdisciplinary ecohealth framework for a comprehensive analysis of this relationship. Objective: To examine the interrelationships between preschool child stunting and gastrointestinal infections within the biophysical, social and spatial context of extreme poverty among the Ngäbe in Western Panama where conditional food voucher (FV) and cash transfer (CT) programs occurred. Methods: A 16-mo longitudinal study of 356 preschool children involved two reinfection cycles following albendazole treatment. Data collection incl...
