Download scientific diagram | Weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) at different ages for males and females aged between 6 and 59 months with WHZ = − 2.0 and HAZ = − 2.0 calculated using the WHO growth
WLZ had poor reliability and poor prognostic ability to identify infants at risk of death. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) were better at identifying infants at risk of mortality/morbidity. MUAC-for-age z-score did not perform better than using a single MUAC cut-off. Suggested MUAC cut-offs for this age group
WHO AnthoPlus was used to calculate the BMI, height for age and weight for age Z scores. Survey design adjusted prevalence estimates with linearized standard errors were generated using svy
Triceps skinfold-for-age z-scores are not calculated if triceps skinfold is missing. subskin. A numeric variable containing subscapular skinfold information, which must be in millimeters. For oedema, weight related z-scores (zwei, zwfl and zbmi) are NOT calculated (set to missing), BUT they are treated as being < -3 SD in the weight-related
Sustainable Development Goal 2.2—to end malnutrition by 2030—includes the elimination of child wasting, defined as a weight-for-length z-score that is more than two standard deviations below
