Extended Data Fig. 3: Length for age z score in relation to age and epithelial damage.
From: Adaptation of the small intestine to microbial enteropathogens in Zambian children with stunting
a, Absence of regression of LAZ on age; the regression line is shown but was not significant (P = 0.36). b, Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (iFABP) was inversely correlated with LAZ score at the time when endoscopy was performed (ρ = −0.15; P = 0.003). Using linear regression to estimate the dependence of LAZ on iFABP, despite the non-normal distribution of iFABP, each unit ng/ml increase in FABP was associated with 0.08 z score reduction in LAZ (β = −0.08; P = 0.01). None of the biomarkers of microbial translocation correlated with LAZ.
