N1 - Funding Information:
Published in a supplement to The Journal of Nutrition. This article is part of a project to update the nutrition modeling components of the Lives Saved Tool (LiST), which is supported by a grant from the Children®s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). LiST is developed and maintained by the Institute for International Programs at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Supplement Coordinator for the supplement publication is Adrienne Clermont. Supplement Coordinator disclosures: Adrienne Clermont is a member of the project team at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health that is implementing the CIFF-funded project that this supplement is a part of. As a result, part of her salary is paid through the grant from CIFF.

N2 - The Lives Saved Tool (LiST) was initially developed in 2003 to estimate the impact of increasing coverage of efficacious interventions on under-5 mortality. Over time, the model has been expanded to include more outcomes (neonatal mortality, maternal mortality, stillbirths) and interventions. The model has also added risk factors, such as stunting and wasting, and over time has attempted to capture a full range of nutrition and nutrition-related interventions (e.g., antenatal supplementation, breastfeeding promotion, child supplemental feeding, acute malnutrition treatment), practices (e.g., ageappropriate breastfeeding), and outcomes (e.g., stunting, wasting, birth outcomes, maternal anemia). This article reviews the overall nutrition-related structure, assumptions, and outputs that are currently available in LiST. This review focuses on the new assumptions and structure that have been added to the model as part of the current effort to expand and improve the nutrition modeling capability of LiST. It presents the full set of linkages in the model that relate to nutrition outcomes, as well as the research literature used to support those linkages.
