Wasting, stunting and concurrent wasting-stunting prevalence from 6 to 8 weeks up to 24 months of age. Panel A depicts growth outcomes of the entire study population. Panel B depicts growth outcomes by low birthweight status for the sub-sample of children with birthweight data. WHO growth standards (2006) were used to calculate Weight-for-Length Z-score (WLZ) and Length-for-Age Z-score (LAZ) for ages 1 to 24 months. Wasting was defined as WLZ < -2 SD, stunting as LAZ < -2 SD, and concurrence as simultaneous WLZ < -2 and LAZ < -2
