If these cutoffs are correct, this would suggest that most study participants had intestinal inflammation characteristic of EED, although these prevalences were lower than those of a recent study which reported high MPO and NEO in 71% and 97% of Bangladeshi children younger than 2 years64 and another study in Kenya in which 97% of children younger than 5 years had a high value of CAL.65 It is worth mentioning that zinc deficiency (75%) and stunting (39%) were very common in this study population. This evidence concerns the gene MPO and Zinc deficiency.
