Fig. 5 — a, Distribution of LAZ at subsequent measurements among children who experienced stunting reversal at the ages of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Vertical black dashed lines indicate stunting the cutoff of −2 LAZ. b, Mean difference in LAZ following stunting reversal at each subsequent age of measurement by age of reversal. Smaller, partially transparent points indicate cohort-specific estimates. Estimates include data from 21 cohorts in 10 countries with at least monthly measurement (n = 11,271). Vertical bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. All panels contain data up to the age of 15 months because in most cohorts, measurements were less frequent above the age of 15 months.
