Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition composite scores in early childhood in Nepalese children socially withdrawn (n = 61) or not (n = 466) in infancy. Legend: Marginal means from linear mixed effects models with the dichotomized m-ADBB score and time included as fixed effects and the individual as random effect and adjusted for age at ADBB measurement, whether family lives in a rented house, low birth weight and whether child is cared for by one of three regular carers when parents are away. In these models we also included an interaction term between time and the ADBB variable. Blue line represents children with no social withdrawal behaviour in infancy, red line children with infant withdrawal in infancy
