Weight-for-HeightWeight-for-height is a measure of undemutrition of recent onset. About 7 percent of the childrenhave a weight-for-height index 2 or more standard deviations below the reference mean and are classifiedas wasted (Table 6.12).Table 6.12Percent Distribution of Children Aged 6-36 Months by Standard DeviationCategory of Weight-for-Height Using the International NCHS/CDC/WHO Reference,According to Background Characteristics, O<strong>DHS</strong>, 1986Standard Deviations from NCBS/CDC/WHO ReferenceBackground -3.00 -2.00 -I.00 -0.99 +I.09 +2.00Character- or to to to to or Totaliatic more -2.99 -1.99 +0.99 +1.99 more PercentNumberofChildren6-36MonthsInternationalReference 0.6 1.7 13.6 68.2 13.6 2.3 100.0Sex of ChildMale 0.8 5.9 24.3 64,2 4.5 0.I 100.0 727Female 0.5 5.6 27.4 62.3 3.5 0.8 100.0 660Age of Child6-11 mos. 0.3 3.8 26.3 62.0 6.6 0.9 100.0 31612-23 mos. 0.5 8.1 29.9 58.3 2.9 0.4 100.0 55924-36 mos. l.O 4.5 21.1 69.5 3.7 9.2 i00.0 512Birth Interval*First Births 1.3 7.4 27.3 60.2 3.5 0.4 100.0 231< 2 years 0.6 5.1 27.3 60.8 6.3 0.0 100.0 1762-3 years 0.5 5.6 25.0 64.4 3.9 0.7 100.0 7494 years + 0.4 5.2 26.0 64.9 3.5 0.0 100.0 231Twins 4.7 9.4 32.8 48.4 4.7 0.O 180.0 64ResidenceUrban 0.3 4.2 23.3 66.9 4.8 0.5 10O.0 619Rural 0.7 5.8 26.7 63.0 3.6 9.3 100.0 675Riverine 2.2 16.1 36.6 41.9 2.2 1.1 100.0 93EducationNone 0.8 5.5 28.0 61.2 4.0 0.3 1O0.0 596Primary 0,4 6.6 25.2 63.0 4.1 0.6 100.0 468Secondary + 0.6 5.0 22.6 67.5 4.0 0.3 100.0 323Recent Morbidity**Diarrhoea I.i 17.0 27.7 48.9 5.3 0.0 100.0 94Fever 0.3 5.5 26.8 63.0 4.1 0.3 100.0 365Cough 0.8 7.3 27.6 60.2 3.3 0.8 100.0 123All Children 0.7 6.1 26.3 62.4 4.1 0.4 1O0.0 1387* Twins are included in the preceding birth interval statistic; both twins have the sameinterval.

Differentials in wasting for population subgroups are also shown in Table 6.12. No differential isfound in the case of sex. Significant differentials are found in the case of age. Wasting increases whenprogressing from children age 6-11 months (4 percent) to children 12-23 months (9 percent), butdecreases for children age 24-36 months (6 percent). Wasting is only weakly associated with the lengthof the birth interval, although, a greater percentage of first births suffer from wasting than second andhigher order births. As is found for the stunting index, the prevalence of wasting is much higher for twins(14 percent) than for all children (7 percent). Wasting is also higher for children in the riverine area thanfor children in the urban and rural areas. Among children with recent diarrhoea, 18 percent are wasted,reflecting the importance of diarrhoea in contributing to malnutrition.Height-for Age by Weight-for-HeightThe relationship between stunting and wasting, or chronic and acute undemutrition, is shown inFigure 6.2. The figure depicts children classified according to their status with respect to both height-forageand weight-for-height. It reveals that approximately 2 percent of children age 6 to 36 months areboth stunted and wasted (i.e., fall 2 standard deviations or more below the mean of the referencepopulation in terms of height-for-age and weight-for-age). They are the most severely undernourishedchildren in the population.Figure 6.2 is also useful for demonstrating the amount of hidden chronic undemutrition in thechildhood population. A child who is stunted but not wasted will not be recognized as beingundemourished by the casual observer: a child who appears to be a healthy two year old, may in fact be astunted three year old. The survey found that 21 percent of children were moderately or severely stuntedand normal with respect to weight-for-height.Figure 6.2Cross-tabulation of Weight-for-Heightand Height-for-AgePercent of Children302520151050/ModeratStuntinMod. a Saywasting; and Severe 10 !an dWaeting ~I ~25~22~ ~ Height-for-AgeMild WastingWeight-for-Height217 Mod., ssv. s,un,,°,M,,Os,on,lngJ'Normal70/NormalOndo State <strong>DHS</strong> 1986
