Adjusted odds ratio for <i>Cryptosporidium</i> infection among stunted 2-year old children.

Polytomous logistic regression was used to assess for risk of Cryptosporidium infection by level of linear growth faltering at 24 months. Children were categorized by HAZ at 24 months: mild stunting HAZ < = -1 and > -2 (n = 111); moderate stunting HAZ < = -2 and >-3 (n = 131); severe stunting HAZ < = -3 (n = 72). Each group was tested against children with HAZ > -1 at 24 months (n = 51). Children with extreme stunting at birth (HAZ < -3.49) were excluded (n = 10). Confounding variables were included in the model.
