Figure 2.
The predicted difference in length (bottom axis) and LAZ (top axis) (left) and weight (bottom axis) and WAZ (top axis) (right) at 24 months based on scenarios that change individual factors potentially affecting growth velocity adjusting for the mean of all factors. The absolute length and weight were converted to z-scores for length-for age (LAZ) and weight-for-age (WAZ) using the WHO Growth Standards.17 The high and low scenarios are based on presence or absence of the named pathogen in at least one surveillance stool in each period while holding all other variables at their mean level. The pathogens represented here are the top three pathogens by prevalence (Campylobacter, EAEC and Giardia). Horizontal lines indicate the 95% CI around the mean differences. The grey vertical bars indicate the 95% CI around the average estimate (which has 0 difference from itself). Sites: BGD, Bangladesh (Dhaka); INV, India (Vellore); NEB, Nepal (Bhaktapur); BRF, Brazil (Fortaleza) PEL, Peru (Loreto); SAV, South Africa (Venda); TZH, Tanzania (Haydom). EAEC, enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
