There was no evidence of a difference between FCM and SOC groups in mean LAZ (mean difference, \u22120.15 [95% CI, \u22120.37 to 0.08]), WAZ (mean difference, \u22120.02 [95% CI, \u22120.21 to 0.16]) or WLZ (mean difference, 0.02 [95% CI, \u22120.20 to 0.24]) at 12 months. Similarly, there was no difference in the proportion with stunting, underweight, or wasting at all time points. Stunting was more common in mothers younger than 20 years, less than 150 cm in height, and with no education or primary education only, although treatment effects showed no evidence of
