High levels of stunting in a country are associated with poor socioeconomic conditions and increased risk of frequent and early exposure to adverse conditions such as illness and/or inappropriate feeding practices (WHO, 2014f). Wasting or thinness (low weight-for-height) indicates in most cases a recent and severe weight loss, which is often associated with inadequate food intake and/or a severe disease. Recurrent events of wasting can increase the risk of stunting, and stunting increases the risk of overweight and obesity later in life.
