The double burden of malnutrition in South Africa: risk factors for undernutrition and overnutrition and the development of a novel mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) screening too... by McLaren, Shawn

“…The least squares regression formula (Y=15.409+0.803x (males); Y=15.13+0.83x (females)) was then used to predict where WHZ=-2 is most likely to correspond with a MUAC value in cm. The new predicted MUAC values of 13.8cm (males) and 13.5cm (females) were subsequently tested for sensitivity and specificity. …”
