Table 2.

Summary of transitions between stunted and non-stunted status, and underweight and non-underweight status at 24 and 60 months in the cohort. Number (%) of children with positive changes in growth (linear and ponderal), defined as positive change in height-for-age z-score (HAZ), weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), height-for-age difference (HAD), or weight-for-age difference (WAD), and recovery from stunting (HAZ < -2) or underweight (WAZ < -2). Changes were calculated by subtracting the value at 24 months from the value at 60 months of age. Stunting is defined as height-for-age z-score (HAZ) < - 2, underweight is defined as weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) < - 2

Height	N (%)	Weight	N (%)
Not stunted at 24 or 60 months	501 (53)	Not underweight at 24 or 60 months	689 (73)
Not stunted at 24, stunted at 60 months	15 (2)	Not underweight at 24, underweight at 60 months	51 (5)
Stunted at 24, not at 60 months	185 (20)	Underweight at 24, not at 60 months	69 (7)
Stunted at both 24 and 60 months	241 (26)	Underweight at both 24 and 60 months	133 (14)
Positive change in HAZ	763 (81)	Positive change in WAZ	469 (50)
Positive change in HAD	308 (33)	Positive change in WAD	166 (18)
Recovery from stunting	185/426 (43)	Recovery from underweight	69/202 (34)
