graphic file with name MCN-19-e13431-g005.jpg — Forest plots for pooled risk ratios of absolute risk in children 6–23 months versus 24–59 months by sex for MUAC, WHZ, WAZ and HAZ. (a) Mortality risk ratio between younger boys and girls (reference group) for MUAC < 125 mm. (b) Mortality risk ratio between older boys and girls (reference group) for MUAC < 125 mm. (c) Mortality risk ratio between younger boys and girls (reference group) for WHZ < −2. (d) Mortality risk ratio between older boys and girls (reference group) for WHZ < −2. (e) Mortality risk ratio between younger boys and girls (reference group) for WAZ < −2. (f) Mortality risk ratio between older boys and girls (reference group) for WAZ < −2. (g) Mortality risk ratio between younger boys and girls (reference group) for HAZ < −2. (h) Mortality risk ratio between older boys and girls (reference group) for HAZ < −2. Estimates on the left part of the axis suggest a higher mortality in girls, and estimates on the right part of the axis suggest a higher mortality among boys.
