The aim of this study was to enumerate the serum aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in children 6-59 months of age, and estimate
its association with linear growth in these children. To accomplish this aim, the team conducted a cross-sectional

serum sample from children. We also studied the association ... read morebetween serum aflatoxin and chronic malnutrition
(stunting), accounting for other risk factors. The specific objectives of this study include:
1. Assess the mean serum aflatoxin in children 6-23 months and 24-59 months of age
2. Examine differences in serum aflatoxin (mean) by age group
3. Enumerate the association between serum aflatoxin and linear growth adjusting for confounders
