Table 3.

Relationship between PYMS and weight for height Z-score by Pearson Chi Square in patients less than 6 years old (N = 53)

Weight for height value Weight for height value Weight for height value
Severe malnutrition Moderate malnutrition Not malnourished Total P-value
PYMS Low-risk 0 (0.0%) 0 (0.0%) 25 (64.1%) 25 (47.2%)
Moderate risk 0 (0.0%) 2 (20.0%) 5 (12.8%) 7 (13.2%)  < 0.001
