Data include changes from Week 0 to Week 48 and from Week 48 to Week 96. Results were adjusted for site; sex and age at entry; WHO height for age z-score; school status; caregiver relation; residential zone; length of time with caregiver; socioeconomic index; and MICS disability and development. Change represents the within-cohort change between noted weeks (eg, Week 0–Week 48, Week 48–Week 96). Pairwise + indicates a specified cohort (HEU or HUU) performance was significantly better than that of the HIV+ cohort at Week 0. *P < .05.
