| Pooled (n = 2211) | Women (n = 1079) | Men (n = 1132) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 12 | 1.24 (1.09, 1.40) | 1.26 (1.01, 1.56) | 1.23 (1.06, 1.43) |

| Model 34 | 1.18 (1.02, 1.37) | 1.16 (0.92, 1.47) | 1.21 (1.02, 1.43) |
| Model 45 | 1.14 (0.98, 1.33) | 1.13 (0.88, 1.44) | 1.16 (0.98, 1.40) |
| Cases of migration, n | 297 | 109 | 188 |
| Person-y, n | 83,103 | 40,506 | 42,597 |
Estimates are HRs (95% CIs) unless otherwise indicated. HAZ, height-for-age z-scores.
Adjusted for fixed effects of birth village and birth year.
Additionally adjusted for years of schooling of the mother and father, mother's age at childbirth, mother's height, and socioeconomic status in early childhood.
Additionally adjusted for permanent primary structure at ages 7 and 13 y, student:teacher ratio at ages 7 and 13 y, cement boom at age 13, and good access to roads at ages 13 and 18 y.
Additionally adjusted for the participant's completed years of schooling. In all models, confidence intervals account for clustering at the mother level and pooled models adjusted for sex. For missing covariates, we used multiple imputation techniques.
