Popis: We investigated linear growth and weight attained among 772 children at 10-15 months of age in the first population-based birth cohort in the Brazilian Amazon. Sociodemographic, maternal and birth characteristics were collected in interviews soon after birth at baseline. Anthropometric evaluation was conducted at 10-15 months. Multiple linear regression models were fitted for length-for-age (LAZ) and body mass index (BMI)-for-age Z scores (BAZ), considering a hierarchical conceptual framework with determinants at distal, intermediate and proximal levels, with adjustment for the child's sex and age. Mean LAZ and BAZ were 0.31 (SD: 1.13) and 0.35 (SD: 1.06), respectively. Overall, 2.2% of children were stunted and 6.6% overweight. Among socioeconomic factors, household wealth index was positively associated with LAZ (p for trend = 0.01), while children whose families received assistance from the Bolsa Família conditional cash transfer program were 0.16 Z score thinner (95% CI: -0.31, -0.00). Maternal height and BMI were positively associated with both LAZ and BAZ at 10-15 months of age (p for trend
