Unit: percent of children under age 5
Source: World Health Organization (Global Health Observatory) [WHO.CHILD_STUNTING]
Measurement definition and metadata source
Publisher measure: Stunting prevalence among children under 5 years of age (% height-for-age <-2 SD), survey-based estimates
Height-for-age below -2 SD, WHO country-level survey estimates, both sexes, no additional disaggregation; not model-based annual interpolation. Reference years are irregular survey labels; fieldwork windows were not supplied by the retained projection. Matching year labels do not prove matching collection periods.
Publisher metadata, retrieved . This dates the definition review; it does not establish the release vintage or collection date of these readings.
Measurement basis: survey-based estimate; reference years are irregular.
Reference-period cadence: irregular survey reference years.
Label correction: The active WHO survey series uses NUTRITION_ANT_HAZ_NE2. It is distinct from the model-based stunting series. Correction record.
These are source-reported readings. A “<” sign means strictly below the stated number. Upper bounds remain visible in tables and downloads; point charts and statistics omit them. A common year can include a reported upper bound.
