Table 1 Plan for data coding and description of the study variables
Study variables | Coding category for analysis |
|---|---|
Outcome variables | |
 Stunting (HAZ) | 0 = Normal HAZ/not stunted (HAZ -2SD and above) 1 = stunted (HAZ < -2SD) |
 Wasting (WHZ) | 0 = Normal WHZ/not wasted (WHZ-2SD to +2SD) 1 = Wasted (WHZ < -2SD) |
 Underweight (WAZ) | 0 = Normal WAZ/not underweight (WHZ-2SD and above) 1 = underweight (WAZ < -2SD) |
 Child anemia | 0 = Normal/not anemic (hemoglobin level > 11 g/dl), 1 = anemic (hemoglobin level < 11 g/dl) |
 Mothers BMI (Continuous, calculated using measured height and weight) | 0 = Normal (18.5–24.9 kg/m2) 1 = Overweight/Obese (≥25 kg/m2) |
 Double burden of malnutrition (DBM):overweight/obese mothers was paired with her child having one form of undernourished (stunted or wasted or underweight) | 0 = Normal or not overweight/obese mother and not undernourished child (stunted or wasted or underweight) 1 = overweight/obese mother and undernourished child (stunted or wasted or underweight) |
 Triple burden of malnutrition (TBM):overweight/obese mothers was paired with her child having one form of undernourished (stunted or wasted or underweight) plus anemic child | 0 = Normal or not overweight/obese mother and not undernourished child (stunted or wasted or underweight) plus not anemic child 1 = overweight/obese mother and undernourished child (stunted or wasted or underweight) plus anemic child |
