What This Wasting Figure Means

This game compares prevalence of wasting, weight for height, among children under 5..

  • The value shown is the latest country-year observation available through the source indicator.
  • It is a comparison tool, not a total portrait of the place.
  • The interesting part is where a simple-looking percentage turns out to be measuring policy, distribution, or institutional stress.

Wasting is what food insecurity looks like when it stops being a headline and starts reshaping a child in real time.
