Weight models adjusted for stunting at onset of interval, WHZ category at onset of interval, season, age, birth weight and per capita income.
Fractional polynomial age term 1: ; age term 2:
where age is the child's age, in days, divided by 1000.
In model 1, Campylobacter-related variables were asymptomatic Campylobacter, and symptomatic (diarrhea-associated) Campylobacter (2 variables).
In model 2, Campylobacter-related variables were asymptomatic campylobacter, symptomatic treated campylobacter, and symptomatic untreated campylobacter (three variables).
