The WAZ was less than -2.0 in 19% of patients. Multivariable modeling revealed that patients with a WAZ less than -2.0 (p=0.006 Z-scores for weight-for-age (WFA), height-for-age (HFA) and BMI-for-age (BMIFA) were compared with WHO and CDC-LMS methods in 1) standard z-score cut-off points, 2) simulated population of 3000 children and 3) real observations 212 children aged 2 to 18 yo. Results: GPR yielded more accurate calculation of z-scores for standard cut-off points For example, on the weight-for-age growth charts, a 5-year-old girl whose weight is at the 25th percentile, weighs the same or more than 25 percent of the reference population of 5-year-old girls, and weighs less than 75 percent of the 5-year-old girls in the reference population. What is a z-score? It offers analysis for 4 indicators: length/height-for-age, weight-for-age, weight-for-length, weight-for-height and body mass index-for-age. The first 2 modules concern the calculation of z-scores (or percentiles) for the assessment of individual child's growth, and thus very pertinent for clinical application. We analysed two standard anthropometric indices, namely, height-for-age z-score (HAZ), i.e., stunting, and weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), i.e., underweight, as indicators of the growth status in Indian children. These z-scores were estimated using NFHS-4 unit level data from kid's file against 2006 WHO child growth standards . Nutritional status: Age: birth to 5 years Indicator and cut-off value compared to the median of the WHO child growth standards a: Obese: Weight-for-length/height b or BMI-for-age >3 standard deviations (SD) of the median: Overweight: Weight-for-length/height b or BMI-for-age >2 SD and ≤3 SD of the median: Moderately underweight The equation of z-score (Z) calculated is : Z = { (X/M)*L -1}/ (L*S). [Where, X=height/weight/BMI, L, M and S are the age-specific values of appropriate table corresponding reference populations RWG in infancy was defined as the difference in weight-for-age z-score between birth and infancy >0.67, which is clinically equivalent to crossing one centile line in a growth chart [8, 31]. s2XjQ5z.
