Description: The Lulun II study was designed as a follow-up cohort study to evaluate long-term impacts of the Lulun Egg Project egg intervention on child growth.

A cross-sectional follow-up study was performed in Cotopaxi, Ecuador with child-caregiver dyads who had participated in the Lulun Egg project. Anthropometric measures of height, weight, and head circumference were taken, and a survey was administered to assess household socioeconomic status, child dietary intake, and child morbidities.
