Notes:
– Data were not available or were insufficient to estimate trends.
* Moderate and severe levels of underweight, stunting and wasting. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period 1996-2005. For other indicators, data refer to the most recent year available during the period shown in the column heading.
AARR Average annual rate of reduction (%) in underweight prevalence. Regions are classified according to the same thresholds as in the map on pages 4 and 5. Note that the threshold described for countries and territories on track to reach the target does not apply at the regional level. Thus, CEE/CIS is not classified - underweight prevalence in this region is 5 per cent but there are insufficient data to calculate the AARR.
** This figure does not include China.
x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition, or refer to only part of a country.
k Data refer to exclusive breastfeeding for less than four months.
t Country has achieved a second round of vitamin A coverage greater than or equal to 70 per cent.
w Country's vitamin A supplementation programme does not target children up to 59 months of age.
