Determinants of growth measurements in rural Cambodian infants: a cross-sectional study.

16 In an analysis of children <2 y old using DHS data from Cambodia and Kenya, the prevalence of stunting was significantly more common in Kenyan boys; and, although the prevalence of stunting was also higher in Cambodian boys, the difference did not reach statistical significance. 14 The reduced prevalence of undernutrition and the lack of difference in nutritional status by sex observed in this study compared with those observed in the previous preparatory survey is unlikely to have resulted from the season of data collection, as both were conducted in the dry season—March–April in the current study and February–March in the preparatory survey.
