The data was adjusted for age, sex, and ethnicity using logistic regression analysis to determine occurence of wasting (weight for height &lt;5th percentile) and stunting (height for age &lt;5th percentile). Significantly more abused children (16.3%) showed wasting as compared to non-abused (0.7%) with abused children 16.6 times more likely to show wasting than non-abused (95% confidence limits on the Odds Ratio 1.9-145.0). While 11.6 percent of abused children showed stunting compared to 5.6 percent of non-abused, this difference was not significant when the data was adjusted for demographic factors.
