Table 3 A comparison of measured and fitted lengths/heights at different ages
From: Modelling stunting in LiST: the effect of applying smoothing to linear growth data

6 | 15,193 | 64.4 | 64.2 | −0.22 (−0.24, −0.20) |
12 | 15,094 | 71.1 | 71.4 | 0.26 (0.24, 0.28) |
24 | 11,822 | 80.2 | 80.1 | −0.09 (−0.11, −0.07) |
