Testing ecological and universal models of body shape and child health using a global sample of infants and young children
Aim: To test whether a risk of child illness is best predicted by deviations from a population-specific growth distribution or a universal growth distribution. Subjects and methods: Child weight for height and child illness data from 433 776 children (1–59 months) from 47 different low and lower inc...
