Venn diagram showing the relations between sets of children who are wasted, stunted and underweight in all 51 countries (n = 1,796,991)*. * Wasted (weight-for-height z-score < − 2.0), stunted (height-for-age z-score < − 2.0), and underweight (weight-for-age z-score < − 2.0) were defined using z-scores calculated using the WHO growth standards. The number of cases in each division is reported. The zero cell indicates that all WaSt cases were also underweight
