Table 3 Results from linear regression models with the outcomes of height-for-age z-score (HAZ), height-for-age difference (HAD), weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), and weight-for-age difference (WAD) change between 24 and 60 months as a function of anthropometry at 24 months and other child and household factors in six sites from the MAL-ED study (BGD, INV, NEB, PEL, SAV, TZH)
