Temporal Trends in the Prevalence of Child Undernutrition in China From 2000 to 2019, With Projections of Prevalence in 2030: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Temporal Trends in the Prevalence of Child Undernutrition in China From 2000 to 2019, With Projections of Prevalence in 2030: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Although the wasting prevalence has decreased, over 6.8% (45 million) of children younger than 5 years have still experienced wasting [8]. Another study showed that the worldwide prevalences of stunting, wasting, and underweight among children were approximately 24.1%, 7.41%, and 14.7%, respectively, in 2020 [9]. Overall, child undernutrition remains a major global health concern [6]. Low-income and lower middle–income countries (LMICs) had the heaviest burden of CGF [6,8,10].

Association of Child Growth Failure Indicators With Household Sanitation Practices in India (1998-2021): Spatiotemporal Observational Study

The prevalence of wasting increased from 1998 to 2015 and decreased in the subsequent 5 years (Figure 4). The prevalence of underweight decreased from NFHS-2 to NFHS-5 in all Indian regions (Figure 5). During the survey rounds NFHS-2 to NFHS-5, the spatial patterns of stunting, wasting, and underweight among children were found to be nonrandom.

Understanding Child Wasting in Ethiopia: Cross-sectional Analysis of 2019 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey Data Using Generalized Linear Latent and Mixed Models

A study conducted in 35 low- and middle-income countries showed that the rate of wasting was still 12.9% in these countries [16]. Stunting, underweight, and wasting combined in sub-Saharan countries ranged from 12.14% in Benin to 0.58% in the Gambia [17]. Recently, children in many African countries still experience undernutrition [18].
