Mean BMI-for-age z score in urban Amazonian children with complete C-reactive protein and anthropometric information, according to age groups and baseline characteristics (2007).

aTotals may be less than 469 for children ≤5 years and less than 538 for children >5 years at baseline because of missing values.bResults are mean BMI-for age z score (BAZ) and standard deviation (SD).cBMI-for-age and height-for-age z scores calculated according to the WHO Child Growth Standards for children ≤5 years and the WHO Growth Reference Data for children >5 years.dTest for linear trend for ordinal predictors; for dichotomous predictors, Wilcoxon rank-sum test.eInformation on food frequency index for fruit and vegetable consumption was available for children >4 years only.fC-reactive protein was categorized as tertiles below 1 mg/L and >1 mg/L. Categories were distributed as follows: 1st tertile: 0.01–0.15 mg/L; 2nd tertile: 0.16–0.38 mg/L; 3rd tertile: 0.39–1.00 mg/L; >1 mg/L: 1.01–9.81 mg/L. Children with C-reactive protein values >10 mg/L were excluded from the analyses (n = 41).
