Extended Data Fig. 4: Posterior probability of increase in mean height in urban and rural areas from 1990 to 2020.
From: Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development
The maps show the PP that the age-standardised mean height increased from 1990 to 2020. The PP of a decrease is one minus that of an increase. If an increase in mean height is statistically indistinguishable from a decrease, the PP is 0.50. PPs closer to 0.50 indicate more uncertainty, those towards 1 indicate more certainty of an increase, and those towards 0 indicate more certainty of a decrease. We did not estimate PP for change in mean rural height for countries classified as entirely urban (Bermuda, Kuwait, Nauru and Singapore) or change in mean urban height for countries classified as entirely rural (Tokelau), as indicated in grey.
