First, length estimates may be subject to measurement error; stunting reversal and relapse analyses that rely on thresholds are more sensitive to such errors. However, detailed assessments of measurement quality indicated that measurement quality was high across cohorts (Supplementary Note 2). Second, ...
Consistency of associations of bedtime and MST with specific obesity types was also assessed across subgroups by introducing a multiplicative term in the full models for sex (men vs women), age (ie <65 years vs ≥65 years), physical activity (low, moderate, or high) and total energy intake...
The average shift of a moderate-to-severe diarrhoea case was 0·068 HAZ for ETEC and 0·082 HAZ for shigella. We assumed that this shift affects the entire population, because a recent multi-level analysis reported moderate-to-severe diarrhoea-related declines in average HAZ scores across the...
All of the studies concluded that HPV vaccination of females is very effective, especially combined with a screening, and cost-effective assuming a low to moderate vaccine price at the same time underlining that the commonly used cost-effectiveness thresholds do not always equal affordability....
High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is ...

Until recently, it has been challenging to examine whether macrostructural characteristics, such as anti-poverty policies, moderate the association between family income and neural outcomes. The ability to examine this question has been hindered by the fact that most neuroimaging studies are conducted ...
Childhood malnutrition is associated with high morbidity and mortality globally1. Undernourished children are more likely to experience cognitive, physical, and metabolic developmental impairments that can lead to later cardiovascular disease, reduced in
