Growth delay: an alternative measure of population health based on child height distributions

Growth delay: an alternative measure of population health based on child height distributions

Background Indicators of child height, such as mean height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ), height-for-age difference (HAD) and stunting prevalence, do not account for differences in population-average bone developmental stage. Aim Propose a measure of child height that conveys the dependency of linear growt...
