BackgroundUndernutrition represents a critical global health concern and is associated with a multifaceted breakdown in gut function - termed environmental enteropathy (EE) - which leads to increased intestinal permeability, inflammation and nutrient malabsorption. Current clinical approaches to assess intestinal permeability are costly, invasive, unreliable and/or difficult to perform in certain populations. ObjectivesWe used transcutaneous fluorescence spectroscopy (TFS) - a novel method for ...
