Analysis of childhood overweight and obesity in Namibia using spatio-temporal quantile interval models

Abstract The global prevalence of overweight (including obesity) in children under 5 years of age was 7% in 2012, and it is expected to rise to 11% by the year 2025. The main objective of this study was to fit spatio-temporal quantile interval regression models for childhood overweight (including ob...
