- W2959263266 abstract "Childhood vaccinations reduce morbidity and mortality and are highly cost-effective. They may also protect children from malnutrition and lead to improved child growth. Stunting, wasting and underweight are targets used to monitor progress towards the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). We use data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) covering the period from 1990 to 2017 to estimate the effect of measles vaccination at 12 months of age on stunting, wasting, and underweight. For causal estimation, we use household- and mother-fixed effects, which allows us to compare outcomes across siblings while controlling for all observed and unobserved confounders that are shared by the siblings, such as household social characteristics and home location. In addition, we control for a wide range of sibling-varying confounders, including sex, age, birth order and mother’s age at birth, as well as vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus-polio (DPT), as a broad indicator of general likelihood to receive vaccinations. Our samples include 347,808 individuals in 132 surveys from 59 countries (for stunting), 430,963 individuals in 190 surveys from 65 countries (for wasting), and 353,520 individuals in 130 surveys from 59 countries (for underweight). Measles vaccination is associated with significantly reduced odds of stunting (odds ratio 0.90 [95% CI 0.86–0.94], p < 0.001) and underweight (odds ratio 0.90 [95% CI 0.86–0.95], p < 0.001). The association with wasting is weaker and not statistically significant (odds ratio 0.95 [95% CI 0.89–1.02], p = 0.143). Our results remain robust across several alternative specifications of our regression models. Measles vaccination substantially reduces stunting and underweight among children in low- and middle-income countries. Increasing measles coverage from the current low to near-universal levels would provide a large boost to child growth and the attainment of the SDGs." @default.
