Under-five-malnutrition rate by level of malnutrition
- Children of weight-for-age malnutrition: under-5-year children have weight-for-age less than minus 2 standard deviation (-2SD) of the median weight of World Health Organization (WHO) reference population.
| Rate of under-5-year children of weight for-age malnutrition (%) | = | Number of under-5-year children ofweight-for-age malnutrition
|
× 100 |
| Number of weighted under-5-year children |
- Children of height-for-age malnutrition: under-5-year children have height-for-age less than minus 2 standard deviation (-2SD) of the median height of WHO reference population
| Rate of under-5-year children of height-for-age malnutrition (%) | = | Number of under-5-year children of height-for-age malnutrition
|
× 100 |
| Number of measured under-5-year children |
- Children of weight-for-height malnutrition: under-5-year children have weight-for-height less than minus 2 standard deviation (-2SD) of the median weight of WHO reference population
| Rate of under-5-year children of weight-for-height malnutrition (%) |
= | Number of under-5-year children of weight-for-height malnutrition
|
× 100 |
| Number of weighted and measured under-5-year children |
The reference population of the WHO is a group of children whose health, weight and height develop normally. The weight and height of such children are used as a benchmark to assess the nutritional status of children at the same age.
