a Estimated with linear regression model for continuous variables or logistic regression model for categorical variables and b adjusting for the characteristics of children (i.e., sex, age, birth order, term of pregnancy and breastfeeding), maternal (i.e., age, marital status, education level and employment status) and household (family size, monthly income, house type, access to water and toilet type). c Defined as HAZ <−2 SD, d defined as WAZ <−2 SD and e defined as BAZ <−2 SD (HAZ = height for age Z-score, WAZ = height for age Z-score, BAZ = height for age Z-score [39]).
