  1. Variables included in the final models: HAZ, adj R2 = 0.09 (age in mos at serum sampling, bike ownership, metal roof on house, mother as primary caretaker, long distance to water, soap use); change in HAZ, adj R2 = 0.02 (age in mos at sampling, initial WAZ, IDDS, bike ownership, animals sleep in house); ln %L, adj R2 = 0.01 (male gender, pit latrine use); ln L:M, adj R2 = 0.11 (age in mos at sampling).
  2. r, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient for ln EndoCab; B, standardized regression coefficient (change in respective measurement per 1-unit change ln EndoCab, adjusting for other co-variables); SE, standard error.
  3. P value associated with B for ln EndoCab.
  4. aChange in HAZ from time of sampling to 3 months later.
