Univariable linear regression models predicting percentage wasting prevalence (WHO) from wasting prevalence (NCHS)
| Regression slope | 95% CI (slope) | Constant (%) | 95% CI (constant) | Pearson's r | Residual SD (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Severe infant wasting | 3.54 | (2.6 to 4.4) | 2.3 | (0.9 to 3.7) | 0.88 | 2.1 |
| Severe child wasting | 1.68 | (1.5 to 1.8) | 0.1 | (−0.2 to 0.5) | 0.98 | 0.4 |
| Moderate infant wasting | 1.43 | (1.1 to 1.8) | 2.0 | (0.4 to 3.6) | 0.89 | 1.9 |
| Moderate child wasting | 0.86 | (0.8 to 0.9) | 0.0 | (−0.4 to 0.4) | 0.99 | 0.5 |
p Values for all rows are <0.001.
