Height (cm), assessed using (phases I & II): 1.2.1. Portable infantometer for children under 87 cm 1.2.2. Anthropometer GPM for children over 87 cm 1.3. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC, cm), assessed using a self-rectracting flat metal tape with a blank lead-in strip (phases I & II) 1.4. Sitting height (cm), assessed using (phase I): 1.4.1. Portable infantometer for children under 87 cm 1.4.2. Anthropometer GPM for children over 87 cm 1.5. Cephalic perimeter (cm), assessed using a self-rectracting flat metal tape with a blank lead-in strip (phase I) 2. Determination of which photographic angles would provide better image information regarding body shape, assessed through anatomically identifying and marking 68 points on the child's body and analysing the images (phase I) 3. Information regarding the health, nutrition and origin of the child participating in the study, assessed using a survey completed by the parents (phases I & II) 4. Feedback obtained in user-centered design activities carried out with focal groups (phase II) _____ Previous primary outcome measures: 1.
