Fig. 3. (A) Comparison of mean weight of the children who received vitamin A supplementation for six months (14.6 kg) with the weight of those who were not supplemented with the vitamin (14.4 kg). The weight increase was 0.15±0.07 kg greater for the vitamin A supplemented children, p<0.05. The pre-treatment adjusted mean was 13.9 kg. The bars represent the mean weight increases for the non-vitamin A supplemented compared to the vitamin A supplemented children, e.g. 0.5 kg versus 0.7 kg, respectively. (B) Comparison of mean weight-for-age Z score of the children who received vitamin A supplementation (-1.35) with the mean weight-for-age Z score of those who were not supplemented with the vitamin (-1.44), p<0.05). Pre-treatment adjusted mean was -1.28.
