  1. *The model 1 was resulted from one-way ANOVA, and the numbers are reported as mean ± SD. †Model 2 and 3 was resulted from covariance analysis, and the numbers are re-ported as mean ± SE. P value < 0.05 shows a significant level of association. Model 1: crude. Model 2: Adjusted for age and calorie. Model 3: Adjusted for age, calorie, supplement use, parents’ smoking, physical activity and socio-economic status. MUAC: mid-upper arm circumference, BAZ: BMI-for-age z-score, HAZ: height-for-age z score, WAZ: weight-for-age z-score
