Predicted absolute differences depicted with 95% CI in parentheses. The reference model is only adjusted for survey-level fixed effects, household location as well as the basic child-level and maternal-level characteristics mentioned in the Methods section, while the full model additionally includes the full range of determinants of undernutrition (all variables interacted with child age group).
