While progress has been made over recent decades towards addressing the global problem of undernutrition in children and mothers, there continues to be a high burden of severe malnutrition in the populations of low- and middle-income countries. In an Editorial, Zulfiqar Bhutta discusses prevention and treatment strategies for optimization of community-based management of severe acute malnutrition in children, contextualizing the findings of an accompanying research article by Matt Hitchings and co-workers reporting on a cluster-randomized trial carried out in Nigeria, which investigated follow-up schedules for treatment of severe acute malnutrition.
