Height-for-age growth trends for two study participants who were stunted at the study end point. a Participant E141 started early infancy with growth along the 5th percentile until 18 months of age, after which there is a steady decrease in growth below the 5th percentile. This participant had no childhood infection history. b Participant E470 started early infancy with growth along the 50th percentile, was infected with malaria at 10 weeks of age, after which there is a steady decrease in growth to the 5th percentile. The child was subsequently infected with hookworm at 18 months at which point her growth was below the 5th percentile. Both participants E141 and E470 had normal birth weights
