Figures & data

Table 1. Distribution of breastfeeding duration across the characteristics of the study participants.

Figure 1. Distribution of age-for-grade by child’s age at school assessment (Underage = one or more years younger than the expected age for a grade; On-time = at the expected age for a grade or 1 year older than the expected age for a grade; 2 years over-age = 2 years older than the expected age for a grade; and 3+years over-age = 3 or more years older than the expected age for a grade for a grade).

Figure 1. Distribution of age-for-grade by child’s age at school assessment (Underage = one or more years younger than the expected age for a grade; On-time = at the expected age for a grade or 1 year older than the expected age for a grade; 2 years over-age = 2 years older than the expected age for a grade; and 3+years over-age = 3 or more years older than the expected age for a grade for a grade).

Figure 2. Distribution of age-for-grade at each age by child’s sex (Underage = one or more years younger than the expected age for a grade; On-time = at the expected age for a grade or one year older than the expected age for a grade; 2 years over-age = 2 years older than the expected age for a grade; and 3+years over-age = 3 or more years older than the expected age for a grade for a grade. [M = male F = Female]).
