Diagnostic ability of mid-upper arm circumference-to-length ratio in detecting wasting among infants aged 1–6 months in Ethiopia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Nutritional Science"
DOI: 10.1017/jns.2022.21
Abstract: Abstract Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is an age-sensitive anthropometric measurement in infants. However, exact age is difficult to know, particularly in low-income countries. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of an age-independent mid-upper arm circumference-to-length (MUAC/L)… read more here.
