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.
