- The effect of grouping M-both and K-both with the single deficits to produce erroneous results due to mathematical coupling. All-muac is defined as M-muac + M-both or K-muac + K-both; All-whz is defined as M-whz + M-both or K-whz + K-both; Cramer’s V (a measure of the degree to which the two categories are associated, 0 = no association, 1 = identity) calculated for MUAC v WHZ only
