- aChildren below one year are not assessed on these skill areas and the total number of children for these scales for each group were–Severe anaemia group n = 126; Control group n = 70)
- Associations with adaptive subscales have been adjusted for multiple testing using the Hommel’s procedure (Hommel [43]) and *p < 0.05 is statistically significant
