Results of Student’s t-test on Pearson’s correlation coefficient. p < 0.05 considered significant. ARI = Acute Respiratory Infection. ARI day = Subject reporting cough and/or shortness of breath. Prevalence of ARI = (number of ARI days/observed days) × 365. Diarrhea day = Subject excreting three or more loose or liquid stools in one day. Prevalence of Diarrhea = (number of diarrhea days/observed days) × 365. HAZ = height-for-age Z score; WAZ = weight-for-age Z score; WHZ = weight-for-height Z score. Delta indicates the change over time from subject enrollment to study completion at 24 months of age.
