Values are mean (SD) with difference in means for comparison or prevalence and prevalence ratio for comparison. HCAZ, head circumference-for-age z score; LAZ, length-for-age z score; WAZ, weight-for-age z score; WLZ, weight-for-length z score.
Adjusted for baseline value.
Adjusted for baseline value and potentially adjusted for child age at measurement, sex, birth order, maternal age, height, education, literacy, marital status, tribe, occupation, religion, number of children younger than 5 y in the household, food security, housing and asset index, animal ownership, distance to water source, field staff who performed measurements, month of measurement, and closest health center.
