  • *Shaded boxes indicate measurements taken with stove in place. Unshaded boxes indicate measurements taken prior to stove installation.

  • †For Group 3 only, the study child's early life exposures were estimated based on CO measurements of their infant sibling, collected prior to stove installation during CRECER in the first 18 months of life.
