Figure 2. Risk reduction for developing kwashiorkor showing reduction of consuming β-carotene rich products according to age in months.

The dotted line is risk reduction after two months, dashed line after four months, and solid line after six months. (A) shows risk reduction for a child with a height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) of minus five, (B) for a child with HAZ of minus three, and (C) a child with HAZ of zero. HAZ-scores are based on the WHO-2006 Child Growth Standards [17].
