It describes research done in Bangladesh after the 1998 flood, using data from 757 households. The study found that mothers with low BMI were more likely to have babies who were stunted or underweight one year later. However, there was no strong link between low maternal BMI and wasting in infants. The findings suggest that a mother's nutrition affects her child's health even after an emergency like a flood.
