Before revision:  Using these two components, we show how universal cutoffs can underestimate stunting in specific world regions (e.g., sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean), where children in even very deprived situations start off taller .
After revision:  Using these two components, we show how universal cutoffs can underestimate stunting in specific world regions , where children have greater basal heights. Conclusion: Current universal cutoffs may miss stunting in populations with taller basal HAZ .
