a

Results for regression models for each taxa separately; models in children additionally account for clustering by household.

b

<−2 SD length-for-age for infants or height-for-age in children

c

Defined as bathing in boiled, filtered or bottled water (vs. tap water) for infants and indoor bathing (vs. outdoors) for children
