Early childhood nutrition determines cognitive development and physical health throughout the life course. Prior work has suggested protein deficiency, in particular tryptophan, may be a major driver of stunted growth. We evaluated the association between the consumption of animal versus planet protein sources and anthropometric z-scores using Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys from children ages 1-4: Central African Republic 2010 (n= 7843), Ghana 2011 (n=5887), Mali 2009 (n=17496), and Sierra Leone 2017 (n=9254). In the past day, 72% had any animal protein (fish, dairy, egg, meat, liver, egg) and 45% had legumes. We used entropy balancing to balance exposed vs. nonexposed on survey parameters, demographics (age, gender), and socioeconomic status (urban residence, mother’s education, wealth quintile), followed by survey-weighted multivariable linear regression with outcome interviewer-measured height and weight z-scores. Height and weight z-scores were greater for children who had milk (adjusted coefficient = 0.13, 95% confidence interval (0.075, 0.187)) and animal protein (adj. coef.= 0.16, 95% CI (0.11, 0.22)) but did not vary for legumes (adj. coef.=0.01, 95% CI (-0.03, 0.06)). Our findings concur with biomedical research implicating essential amino acids (particularly tryptophan) as key mediators of growth and intestinal function, and complete protein deficiency as a driver of EED.
