&lt;p&gt;OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether nutritional supplementation in children aged &amp;lt;7 to 15 y affected their children&amp;#39;s nutritional status 29-38 y later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DESIGN: We studied 791 children 0-12 y who were offspring of 401 Guatemalan women who had participated as children in a nutritional supplementation trial in which 2 villages were randomly assigned to receive a nutritious supplement (atole) and 2 were assigned to receive a less-nutritious supplement (fresco). We compared anthropometric indicators between the offspring of mothers exposed to atole and the offspring of mothers exposed to fresco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RESULTS: Compared with the offspring of women exposed to fresco, the offspring of women exposed to atole had a 116-g (95% CI: 17, 215 g) higher birth weight, were 1.3-cm (0.4, 2.2 cm) taller, had a 0.6-cm (0.4, 0.9 cm) greater head circumference, had a 0.26 (0.09, 0.43) greater height-for-age z score, and had a 0.20 (0.02, 0.39) greater weight-for-age z score. The association for height differed by offspring sex. Sons of women exposed to atole were 2.0-cm (95% CI: 1.0, 3.1 cm) taller than the sons of women exposed to fresco. Supplementation was not associated with 6 other offspring anthropometric indicators that reflect measures of adiposity. Supplementation in boys did not affect their children&amp;#39;s anthropometric measures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CONCLUSION: Nutritional supplementation in girls is associated with substantial increases in their offsprings&amp;#39; (more for sons) birth weight, height, head circumference, height-for-age z score, and weight-for-age z score.&lt;/p&gt;
