What's up with catch-up?: No evidence of population-level catch-up growth in children under 5 years of age when using height-for-age difference (HAD) instead of height-for-age z-scores (HAZ)

Studies conducted in past decades showed little or no population‐level linear catch‐up growth (defined as reductions in absolute height deficit) in children after 2 y of age. Recent studies, however, have reported catch‐up growth in groups of children using height‐for‐age z‐scores (HAZ). We assessed...
