Methods: This present longitudinal retrospective study used stratified and clustered sampling. Based on growth curves in family records, the incidence times of growth failure in height and weight of each child were recorded. In the next stage, using recurrent events model (proportional rate model), along with SAS software (version 9.2), the data were modeled. Results: According to proportional rate model, the effect of mothers’ educational level on the rate of growth failure in the height and weight of children was significant (P=0.046, P=0.049) and the effect of fathers’ job was significant only on growth failure in children’s weight (P |
