¹Values are means ± SDs or means (95% CIs) unless otherwise indicated. Outcomes were compared using linear regression analysis. LAZ, length-for-age z score; MUAC, midupper arm circumference; WAZ, weight-for-age z score; WLZ, weight-for-length z score.

²Mean difference adjusted for age and sex, and model accounted for clustering by clinic site.

³Ratio is subscapular:triceps.
