Stunting among children indicates malnutrition or undernutrition, hindering their growth and development. This will have negative effects on the overall health of children. This review investigates the effects of different types of cow's milk and their impacts on children's growth. A web-based search of Cochrane, Web of Science, SAGE, and Prospero was carried out using predetermined search/MESH phrases and keywords. The data extraction and analysis were carried out independently by two reviewers, who then double-checked, revised, and discussed any disagreements with a third reviewer. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria and were rated as good (N = 5) and fair quality (N = 3), which were included in the final analysis. The results illustrated that standard cow's milk has more consistent findings than nutrient-enriched cow's milk potentially in assisting children's growth. However, studies on standard cow's milk and child's growth are still lacking for this age group. In addition, there are inconsistent findings between nutrient-enriched cow's milk and children's growth. It is crucial to ensure milk is included in children's diets as per recommended nutrient intake.
儿童发育迟缓表明存在营养不良或营养不足，这会阻碍他们的生长发育。这将对儿童的整体健康产生负面影响。本综述调查了不同类型的牛奶及其对儿童生长的影响。使用预定的搜索/MESH 短语和关键词，在 Cochrane、Web of Science、SAGE 和 Prospero 上进行了基于网络的搜索。数据提取和分析由两名评审员独立进行，然后由第三名评审员对任何分歧进行复查、修订和讨论。有八项研究符合纳入标准，并被评为高质量（N=5）和中等质量（N=3），被纳入最终分析。结果表明，标准牛奶比营养强化牛奶更能促进儿童生长，但针对该年龄组的标准牛奶和儿童生长的研究仍然较少。此外，营养强化牛奶与儿童生长之间的研究结果不一致。确保按照推荐的营养摄入量将牛奶纳入儿童饮食中至关重要。
