1Of any two consecutive months from 1 month to 36 months, growth category in the first of those months along the left hand side, growth category transitioned to in the following month along the top. For example of the 1790 occurrences of normal growth among boys (group A on the left hand side), 85 times in 100 the child would stay with normal growth in the following month (group A along the top), and 9 times in 100 the child moved to be stunted only in the following month (group F along the top). Of the 1333 occurrences of stunting only among boys (group F on the left hand side), 79 times in 100 the child remained stunted only the following month (group F along the top) and 11 times in 100 the child moved to have normal growth in the following month (group A along the top). 2 Birth was not included due to the high number of missing values for length |
