Notes. All statistically significant coefficients are marked in bold.

^aAll mean VO₂ max estimates are expressed in ml kg^-1 min^-1 and are adjusted for age.

^bAll mean grip strength values are expressed in kg and are not adjusted for age.

^cAll p-values are calculated using either mixed linear or mixed logistic regression, adjusted for clustering within school classes.

^dInfected with one or two soil-transmitted helminth species (A. lumbricoides and/or T. trichiura).

^eStunted: is defined as <-2 HAZ.
