Catch-up growth or regression to the mean? Recovery from stunting revisited

Article Abstract:

The relationship between stunting and later catch-up growth in the context of regression to the mean as a statistical phenomenon is re-examined. The design is a theoretical analysis showing that catch-up growth is more evident based on height z scores than on height, validated using data stunted and later South African.
