AUC values of the individual predictors are given in the inserts of each plot. absMUAC, absolute midupper arm circumference; LAZ, length-for-age z score; LVZ, length velocity z score; MUAC, midupper arm circumference; MUACZ, midupper arm circumference z score; WAZ, weight-for-age z score; WVZ, weight velocity z score; ΔabsMUAC, change in absolute values of midupper arm circumference; ΔMUACZ, change in midupper arm circumference z score.
