Before revision:  By contrast, accrued HAZ captures stunting as impaired growth due to deprivation . Population-sensitive estimates suggest that universal cutoffs can miss 1 in 5 children in specific world regions, where children have greater basal heights. Conclusion : Current universal cutoffs may miss stunting in populations with taller basal HAZ.
After revision:  By contrast, accrued HAZ captures stunting as impaired growth due to deprivation and is more closely associated with infant mortality than observed HAZ. Ranking populations by accrued HAZ suggest that populations in West Africa and the Caribbean suffer much greater levels of stunting than suggested by observed HAZ. Discussion : Current universal cutoffs may miss stunting in populations with taller basal HAZ.
