Stunted (height-for-age z score < −1.0), underweight (weight-for-age z score < −1.0), and wasted (BMI z score < −1.0) were defined using z scores calculated using the World Health Organization growth reference and Canadian Pediatric Endocrine Group growth charts.
The 0.0 values indicate that all children who were stunted and wasted were also underweight.
