Main effect size Sample size per group
Linear growth at 24 months
 - Mean LAZ 0.20 SD (absolute value 0.80 cm at 24 mo) 527
 - Proportion stunted (30%) 30% relative reduction 491
Birth weight/birth length 0.20 SD (absolute value 100 g birth weight and 0.45 cm birth length) 527
Proportion LBW (25%) 30% relative reduction 624
Preterm birth (12%) [35] 30% relative reduction 1100
SGA at birth (36%) [10] 30% relative reduction 381
