This study conducted among 302 infants aimed to determine the most suitable mid upper arm circumference cutoff to diagnose severe acute malnutrition (weight-for-length <-3 SD) in infants aged between 1 and 6 months. The cut off of 11.0 cm had the best performance (Youden index 0.63, sensitivity 82.5%, specificity 80.3%).Entities:
