¹Values are β-coefficients (95% CIs) and P values; all EED biomarkers were natural log transformed before analysis. Adjusted model controls for maternal age, height, diastolic blood pressure, years of education, first pregnancy (yes/no), *P < 0.05. Household Food Insecurity Access Scale score, safe water (yes/no), and infant birth weight. EED; environmental enteric dysfunction; LAZ, length-for-age z score; L:M, lactulose:mannitol; %LE, percentage lactulose excretion.
