Table 4 Joint disparity, referent religion disparity, referent caste, and referent tribal identity disparity for predicted prevalence of child growth outcomes in adjusted models. These estimates are adjusted for household wealth, mother's education, mother’s height (for stunting and wasting), mother’s weight (for underweight and wasting), child’s age, child's sex, urbanicity. We also use state and district fixed effects, and included each NFHS survey wave as a fixed effect to control for all state invariant factors that may vary over time
