A high mean for height at these two sites characterised population 33257, which at the same time showed marked instability.
On the other hand, the Pearson's correlation coefficient between nursery and field conditions, based on family mean for height, was moderate and negative (R = −0.40, P = 0.02), indicating a low correspondence between both environments.
On average, trial participants were below the age standardised reference population mean for height or weight at baseline (table 1).
Although we did not restrict study selection to populations with a particular nutritional status, children were generally below the age standardised reference population mean for height or weight, reflecting the spectrum of stunting and wasting malnutrition seen in low and middle income countries.
Based on medical records, patients between the ages of 8 and 18 who were (or had been before treatment) 2.0 standard deviations (SD) or more below the mean for height in that country because of GHD or ISS were eligible to participate.

To derive population-level estimates, we use mean height-for-age difference (HAD: child's height compared to standards, expressed in centimeters) and compare with findings using mean HAZ.
As noted earlier, most of the recent studies that found evidence of catch-up growth in height based their conclusions on the observation that population mean height-for-age z-score (HAZ) increased after 2 years of age.
One exception lies in Kajiado girls' mean height-for-age which at age one is above the 5th percentile for Kajiado Maasai females and is above the 50th percentile for the Tanzanian Maasai females.
Adjusted mean height-for-age Z-scores are shown on Table 1.
Bivariate analysis showed no gender differences in mean height-for-age Z-scores; however, with exposure to any IPV during pregnancy and ever controlling behavior by the father of the child, adjusted mean height-for-age Z-scores were significantly lower only among girls.
A comparison among the different supplementation groups, mean height-for-age z-scores, and occurrence of stunting throughout the 5-year follow-up was made using a general linear modeling of repeated-measurements ANOVA procedure.
