Estimate (95% Confidence Interval)
Metric Height Weight MUAC
Mean 88.7 cm (86.0 to 91.4) 12.05 kg (11.40 to 12.69) 14.2 cm (14.0 to 14.4)
TEM 0.67 cm (0.57 to 0.76) 0.09 kg (0.08 to 0.11) 0.22 cm (0.18 to 0.25)
%TEM 0.75% (0.64 to 0.86) 0.79% (0.67 to 0.91) 1.53% (1.30 to 1.76)
Reliability (ICC) 0.997 (0.996 to 0.998) 0.999 (0.999 to 0.999) 0.954 (0.935 to 0.973)
Repeatability 1.85 cm (1.57 to 2.12) 0.26 kg (0.22 to 0.30) 0.60 cm (0.51 to 0.69)

TEM = technical error of measurement; %TEM = relative TEM; ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient; MUAC = middle upper arm circumference.
