Extended Data Fig. 11. Mean LAZ by age and region with 95% confidence intervals.

Mean length-for-age Z-score (LAZ) stratified by age from birth to age 15 months (N = 21 cohorts that measured children at least monthly between birth and age 15 months, N = 11,243 children). “Never stunted” includes children who did not become stunted by age 15 months. Shaded ribbons indicate 95% confidence intervals. Pooled results were derived from random effects models with restricted maximum likelihood estimation. Thinner lines indicate cohort-specific estimates.
