Footnotes: Year 2020 data was based on 3-month data from January to March 2020 instead of the entire year as the COVID-19 situation disrupted the measurement of height and weight in schools. Year 2021 data was based on 4-month data from January to April 2021 instead of the entire year as the COVID-19 situation disrupted the measurement of height and weight in schools. Data are used for SDG 2.2.2 'Prevalence of malnutrition (weight for height >+2 or <-2 standard deviation from the median of the WHO Child Growth Standards) among children under 5 years of age, by type (wasting and overweight)'.
