| IFA (n = 718)2 | MQ-LNS (n = 735)2 | MMS (n = 642)2 | MQ-LNS vs. IFA3 | MMS vs. IFA3 | MQ-LNS vs. MMS3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stunted, LAZ < –2 | 499 (69.6) | 498 (67.9) | 447 (70.0) | 0.98 (0.84, 1.14) | 1.01 (0.88, 1.14) | 0.97 (0.83, 1.13) |
| Underweight, WAZ < –2 | 277 (38.6) | 311 (42.4) | 268 (41.8) | 1.10 (0.86, 1.41) | 1.08 (0.86, 1.36) | 1.01 (0.78, 1.32) |
| Wasted, WLZ < –2 | 67 (9.3) | 113 (15.4) | 67 (10.5) | 1.65 (0.67, 4.05) | 1.12 (0.71, 1.77) | 1.47 (0.62, 3.47) |

Values are RRs (95% CI) derived from log-binomial models. All estimates were unadjusted. SEs were clustered at the village level.
