Spearman pairwise correlation coefficients for HAZ and inflammation and enteropathy markers in children 22–28 months of age, cases, and controls
| HAZ | CRP | AGP | EndoCAb | NEO | AAT | MPO | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HAZ | 1.00 | – | – | – | – | – | – |
| CRP | 0.04 | 1.00 | – | – | – | – | – |
| AGP | −0.14* | 0.50* | 1.00 | – | – | – | – |
| EndoCAb | −0.04 | 0.06 | 0.23* | 1.00 | – | – | – |
| NEO | 0.07 | −0.07 | −0.08 | 0.02 | 1.00 | – | – |

| MPO | 0.03 | −0.03 | −0.01 | 0.05 | 0.11 | 0.26* | 1.00 |
AAT = Alpha-1-antitrypsin; AGP = alpha-1-acid glycoprotein; CRP = C-Reactive Protein; EndoCAb = IgG endotoxin-core antibody; HAZ = Height-for-age Z score, lnEndoCAb = natural log of IgG endotoxin-core antibody; MPO, myeloperoxidase; NEO = Neopterin.
* Indicates significance at P < 0.05.
