Global Database on Child Growth and Malnutrition

Global and regional trend estimates for child malnutrition

Global and regional estimates have been produced for overweight, stunting, underweight and wasting. The method applied is that outlined in the article published in the International Journal of Epidemiology 2004.

Given that wasting is very sensitive to change, no forecast estimates are included.

The analyses used country survey data available up to August 2009.
