| Description of data capture | Demographic data was obtained through completion of interview questionnaires. Anthropometric measurements (weight and height) yielded primary data that was used to calculate height-for-age z-scores, weight-for-age z-scores and weight-for-height z-scores. Intestinal and systemic markers were obtained from stool, urine and plasma samples through Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). |
