Research also demonstrates sex differences whereby boys have a higher prevalence of undernutrition than girls. This analysis described mortality risk associated with anthropometric deficits (wasting, underweight and stunting) in children 6\u201359 months by age and sex. We categorised children into younger (6\u201323 months) and older (24\u201359 months) age groups. Age and sex variations in near\u2010term (within 6\u00a0months) mortality risk, associated with individual anthropometric deficits were assessed in a secondary analysis of multi\u2010country cohort data. A random effects meta\u2010analysis was performed. Data from seven low\u2010or\u2010middle\u2010income\u2010countries collected between 1977 and 2013 were analysed. One thousand twenty deaths were recorded for children with anthropometric deficits. Pooled meta\u2010analysis estimates showed no differences by age in absolute mortality risk for wasting (RR 1.08,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.826 for MUAC\u2009&lt;\u2009125\u2009mm; RR 1.35,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.272 for WHZ\u2009&lt;\u2009\u22122). For underweight and stunting, absolute risk of death was higher in younger (RR 2.57,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) compared with older children (RR 2.83,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). For all deficits, there were no differences in mortality risk for girls compared with boys. There were no differences in the risk of mortality between younger and older wasted children, supporting continued inclusion of all children under\u2010five in wasting treatment programmes. The risk of mortality associated with underweight and stunting was higher among younger children, suggesting that prevention programmes might be justified in focusing on younger children where resources are limited. There were no sex differences by age in mortality risk for all deficits.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.13431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,27]],"date-time":"2022-09-27T05:09:04Z","timestamp":1664255344000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Anthropometric deficits and the associated risk of death by age and sex in children aged 6\u201359 months: A meta\u2010analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7102-446X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"Thurstans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine London UK"},{"name":"Emergency Nutrition Network Kidlington UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie V.","family":"Wrottesley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Nutrition Network Kidlington UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bridget","family":"Fenn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Nutrition Network Kidlington UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanya","family":"Khara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Nutrition Network Kidlington UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paluku","family":"Bahwere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Clinical Research Centre, School of public Health Universit\u00e9 libre de Bruxelles Brussels Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1236-849X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James A.","family":"Berkley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Tropical Medicine &amp; Global Health University of Oxford Oxford UK"},{"name":"Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Centre for Geographic Medicine Research Coast (CGMRC) &amp; KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Programme Kilifi Kenya"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert E.","family":"Black","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Baltimore USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Boyd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USAID\/Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance Washington DC USA"},{"name":"Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy Tufts University Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Garenne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRD UMI R\u00e9siliences Paris France"},{"name":"Institut Pasteur Epid\u00e9miologie des Maladies Emergentes Paris France"},{"name":"FERDI Universit\u00e9 d'Auvergne Clermont\u2010Ferrand France"},{"name":"MRC\/Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit, School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheila","family":"Isanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard T.
