Disease burden was measured through the number of attendances to healthcare facilities from the start of the supplementation until the end of the study home visit regardless the type of infection. Overall, 895 attendances to healthcare facilities were observed. Out of them, 342 were registered in SMC-A Cumulative incidence of all cause morbidity over the study period. Number of admissions to the health facilities due to a disease regardless the type of infections per study arm form the beginning of the intervention to the end of the follow-up period. Blue curve represents control arm while green and red curves represent Plumpy’Doz and Zinc arm, respectively. Note that each participant can contribute more than one episode of all cause morbidity over the study periodAll cause morbidity was reduced in children receiving nutrient supplementation compared to control group. This reduction was more important and significant with children receiving Plumpy’Doz™ supplementation (Table Effect of intervention on the incidence of all causes morbidity
