Comparisons of anthropometric indices in non-disabled and disabled singleton cases and their matched controls and disabled singleton cases attending special schools (who have no controls)
| Anthropometric measures | Non-disabled singleton cases (n=128) | Matched controls (n=128) | Mean of differences between cases and controls (95% CI) | Disabled singleton cases (n=11) | Matched controls (n=11) | Mean of differences between cases and controls (95% CI) | Disabled cases with no controls (n=23) |
