Fig. 2: Cumulative exposure–response associations between child survival and ENSO at 0–12 preconceptional and prenatal months of mothers.

From: Maternal preconceptional and prenatal exposure to El Niño Southern Oscillation levels and child mortality: a multi-country study

Fig. 2

The red and blue solid lines (with 95% confidence interval, shaded gray) indicate effect estimates of El Niño-like and La Niña-like conditions, respectively. They are the centers for the error bands. The association estimate of each ENSO measure with child survival is computed as the HR of a given percentile of ENSO relative to the reference value (set at zero). Histograms of ENSO indices are plotted at the bottom, with density measured by the second (right) vertical axis. HR hazard ratio, ENSO El Niño Southern Oscillation, MEI multivariate El Niño index, ESPI ENSO precipitation index, ONI oceanic Niño index, P90 90th percentile, P10 10th percentile.
