Abstract

Table S1. Comparison of acute malnutrition diagnosis by WHZ and/or absolute MUAC in four Somalian livelihoods. Proportion of children with acute malnutrition (GAM or SAM) as defined by WHZ and/or absolute MUAC (see Methods section for definitions) that are diagnosed as malnourished by WHZ only, by absolute MUAC only, or by both criteria simultaneously. Table S2. Comparison of acute malnutrition diagnosis by WHZ and/or MUACAZ in four Somalian livelihoods. Proportion of children with acute malnutrition (GAM or SAM) as defined by WHZ and/or absolute MUACAZ (see Methods section for definitions) that are diagnosed as malnourished by WHZ only, by MUACAZ only, or by both criteria simultaneously. Table S3. Factors associated with GAM diagnosis based on WHZ, absolute MUAC and MUACAZ by livelihood. Results of the multivariate regression on GAM as measured by either three of the indicators (WHZ, MUAC and MUACAZ) conducted in each of the four livelihood populations. Table S4. Factors associated with SAM diagnosis bases on WHZ, MUAC and MUACAZ by livelihood. Results of the multivariate regression on SAM as measured by either three of the indicators (WHZ, MUAC and MUACAZ) conducted in each of the four livelihood populations. (PDF 211 kb
