All children that did not meet at least one of the criteria for SAM, were below 6 or above 60 months or the data for weight, height, MUAC or outcome was absent were excluded. The data were examined for gross errors of recording (such as a child with a height of 10 cm, a weight ...
Objective: The goal of this study was to create a weight-gain-forgestational- age percentile and z score chart to describe the mean, SD, and selected percentiles of maternal weight gain throughout pregnancy in a contemporary cohort of US women. Design: The study population was drawn from ...
Height for age (H/A) and weight for age (W/A) are pivotal measures for assessing children’s growth against standard patterns [1]. Presently, Pakistan relies on WHO standards for monitoring child growth and estimating rates of wasting and stunting in the population [2]. Over the past decad...
A child was considered stunted (low height-for-age) if the height-for-age z-score was below -2. The means and standard deviations of z-scores of height and percentage of stunted children were calculated separately for each sex and for each height-for-age chart. The normality of distributio...
We also evaluated the linearity of the association between the z score and PE by quartile transformation and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis of the z score. The confounders, including maternal age at delivery (years), maternal height (cm), early pregnancy BMI (kg/m2), smoking status,...

Baseline evaluation occurred if the child was documented or reported to be greater than the 90th percentile weight for height relative to his or her age. Children were recruited using letters sent to parents of children identified as overweight by chart reviews. Recruitment effort yield 106 children...
