Overview

This analysis examines growth trajectories in children under 5 years with stunting, indicating varied growth outcomes.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze growth trajectories of stunted children under 5 years from a clinical program.
  • Utilized data from 2827 children with 38,864 height measurements.
  • Applied superimposition by translation and rotation modeling for growth patterns.
  • Analyzed factors affecting growth improvement through regression analysis.
  • Median age at first measurement was 9 months, with monitoring duration of 17 months.
  • Median height-for-age Z-score at first measurement was -2.51.
  • Variability in growth dynamics, with some children experiencing catch-up growth.
  • Factors influencing growth improvement included initial stunting severity and male sex.
