    The document provides global and regional data on stunting prevalence and numbers among children under 5 years of age from 2000 to 2020. Stunting is defined as height-for-age being more than 2 standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median. Key findings from the data include: - The global stunting prevalence among children under 5 in 2020 was estimated to be 22% (149.2 million children). - Prevalence has declined globally from over 30% in 2000 but parts of Africa still have high levels, including Western, Middle and Eastern Africa. - The highest prevalence globally in recent years was in Africa, at over 30% in the early 2000s declining to around 25% in 2020.
