*) Values are based on WHO standards.

For each indicator all children are included in the evaluation with a plausible z-
score (defined under Survey options).
Percentages below median based on weight-dependent indicators are defined as <-3 SD
or oedema, and <-2 SD or oedema. Oedema cases are not used to derive mean and SD of
z-scores.
%<-2SD includes %<-3SD; %>+2SD includes %>+3SD; %>+1SD includes %>+2SD and %>+3SD.
Number of children with oedema: 0 (this number may be used to calculate the
prevalence of oedematous malnutrition in a sample)
