Environmental exposure to metal mixtures and linear growth in healthy Ugandan children
Fig 1
Effect estimates for individual metals and height-for-age Z-score by multivariable linear regression model.
A multivariable linear regression model including 5 metals shows a significant negative association between Pb exposure and HAZ score, and a significant positive association between Se exposure and HAZ score. The model was adjusted for level of educational attainment of the child’s mother and for a binary variable indicating whether the child had ever been admitted to the hospital.
