Deficiencies of multiple micronutrients (MMN) usually coexist in developing countries, but supplements have usually provided only 1 or 2 micronutrients (MN). To inform policy, in this article we compared the relative benefits of supplying MMN vs. a placebo or 1 or 2 MN on the following: children's growth, health, and development; pregnancy outcome; nutritional status; and HIV/AIDS mortality and morbidity in adults. Sufficient data were available to perform random-effects meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCT) for the effects of MMN on child growth and nutritional status. Results for other outcomes are presented as effect sizes (ES) when available. In children, MMN interventions resulted in small but significantly greater improvements in length or height (ES = 0.13; 95% Cl: 0.055, 0.21) and weight (ES = 0.14; 95% Cl: 0.029, 0.25), hemoglobin (ES = 0.39; 95% Cl: 0.25, 0.53), serum zinc (ES = 0.23; 95% Cl: 0.18, 0.43), serum retinol (ES = 0.33;95% Cl:0.050, 0.61), and motor development. A Cochrane review reported that compared with no supplementation or a placebo, MMN supplementation during pregnancy reduced the relative risk of low birth weight (0.83), small-for-gestational age (0.92), and anemia (0.61); however, MMN were not more effective than iron + folic acid alone. There is some evidence that MMN supplementation improves CD4 counts and HIV-related morbidity and mortality in adults. The efficacy of MMN varies across trials, but overall there is evidence that outcomes are better than when providing <= 2 MN. The policy implications of these studies are discussed. J.
