- (a)Height-for-age Z score: calculated using the WHO Anthro Version 3.2.2 software (2011)
- (b)Early childhood development index
- (c)Pearson correlation coefficient between HAZ and standardised ECD score
- (d)Standardised mean difference: calculated using a multiple linear regression predicting standardised ECD scores from HAZ taking into account child sex, child age, and household wealth index
- Bolded correlation coefficient/SMD: statistically significant
