[Our study] draws attention to the research gap on the benefits of deworming in early childhood, Theresa W. Gyorkos, PhD, of the department of epidemiology, biostatistics and occupational health at 91勛圖, Montreal, told Infectious Diseases in Children. While statistically significant differences in weight and length measures 1 year later were not observed between the intervention groups compared to the placebo group, the trial results nonetheless suggest that there may be some benefit to deworming earlier rather than later (ie, at 12 months rather than at 18 months).

Whats interesting about this variation is that it has an effect on bone density and fracture twofold larger than anything weve found previously twofold larger than anything anyone in the world has found previously, I should say, Richards told the Montreal Gazette.
