Data are presented as estimates (95% CIs). The models were run separately for boys and girls. HAZ, height-for-age Z-score; WAZ, weight-for-age Z-score.

The mean burden of diarrhea overall is 5%, 7%, 8%, 7%, and 5% of days with diarrhea in the age groups 0–3, >3–6, >6–12, >12–18, and >18–24 mo, respectively.
