Mean weight-for-age and length-for-age z-scores, stratified on infant HIV-exposure plus gestational mid-upper arm circumference. Models stratified on infant HIV-exposure (Fig. 2a and b, where “HIV-U” = infant HIV-unexposed, “HIV-E” = infant HIV-exposed) or gestational mid-upper arm circumference (Fig. 2c and d, where “Low MUAC” = lowest gestational mid-upper arm circumference tertile, “High MUAC” = middle and highest tertiles combined). Dotted lines depict z-scores of zero. All models adjusted for gestational age; post hoc pairwise comparisons were used to generate predicted marginal means and 95 % CI at each time point and the significance threshold after Bonferroni correction; significance was P < 0.01. Significant differences were observed for the following weight-for-age z-scores: -HIV-U/High MUAC vs. HIV-U/Low MUAC at months 2, 3, and 6; -HIV-U/High MUAC vs. HIV-E/High MUAC at months 2 and 3; -HIV-U/High MUAC vs. HIV-E/Low MUAC at each time points. Significant differences were observed for the following length-for-age z-scores: -HIV-U/High MUAC vs. HIV-U/Low MUAC at month 6; -HIV-U/High MUAC vs. HIV-E/Low MUAC at months 3 and 6
