N=299; excludes one caregiver-child dyad who did not complete visit 1. Percentages may not total to 100% due to rounding.
*Birth weight was not available for one child.
†Children’s age was adjusted for preterm birth if children were born at <37 completed weeks’ gestation. However, results were similar using unadjusted calendar age to calculate WHO BMI-for-age z-scores. Mean (SD)=0.80 (0.97); BMI z-score <−2 (n=1), BMI z-score −2 to <1 (n=179), BMI z-score 1 to <2 (n=85), BMI z-score ≥2 (n=34). BMI-for-age z-score cut points and category labels as recommended by WHO.67
‡Excludes caregivers (n=12) who were pregnant or not measured at visit 1.
