The effect of HIV on the anthropometric status of children before starting antiretroviral therapy (Reddi et al. 2007)
| Anthropometric indices | Number (%) |
|---|---|
| Moderate or severe stunting (n = 406) | 271 (66.7) |
| Moderate or severe underweight (n = 408) | 232 (56.9) |
| Moderate or severe wasting (n = 390) | 81 (20.8) |
n = denominator; for stunting, underweight and wasting: Z‐score < −2 is moderate and <−3 is severe.
