Prevalence of wasting in children under 2 years [Draft]

Definition:

  • Prevalence of wasting in children under 2 years refers to proportion of children under 2 years old who are considered wasted.
  • Wasting is a condition characterized by a child being significantly underweight for their height. It's often a sign of acute malnutrition, typically caused by insufficient food intake or frequent infections. Unlike stunting, which is a chronic condition resulting from long-term malnutrition, wasting is more immediate and often reversible with appropriate interventions. However, if left untreated, it can lead to severe health complications and even death.
