Fwd: Some biometric data from Pestel

Some of you may be interested in seeing some analysis of the height & weight data from last year.   I finally figured out how to get some software to analyze it for me!!!   (Go me!!!)

The take-home messages are in the .doc   (the two curves ought to match up.   Pestel's curve falls well below where it ought to)

For those who like to see % etc, check out the .xls   (look at weight-for-age, for example.   The -3SD means the # (or %) of kids who fall WAY below normal weight for their age (like, in the bottom 5th percentile).

We can use this baseline data to show the levels of malnutrition before we started any of the efforts (i.e. deworming, Vitamin A, anemia campaign, Heifer International project, etc etc)
