p<0.05. For HAZ(1), consumption is from R2. For ucHAZ(1:5), consumption is from R2 and months between measurements is number of months between R1 and R2 measurements; for ucHAZ(5:8), consumption is from R3 and months between measurements is number of months between R2 and R3 measurements. Continuous variables measured in standard deviation units. R-squared based on Fisher’s z transformation.
