Cross-sectional growth assessment of children in four refugee camps in Northern Greece

Results demonstrated low prevalence of underweight for height, but high prevalence of stunting, suggesting chronic malnutrition. We recommend empirical micronutrient supplementation for children younger than 5 years and pregnant and breast-feeding women. Further research on the nutritional status of child refugees in camps in Greece is warranted to understand the cause of stunting and scope of any micronutrient deficiencies.
