Armenia AM: Prevalence of Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5

Armenia AM: Prevalence of Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data was reported at 4.000 % in 2016. This records a decrease from the previous number of 4.900 % for 2010. Armenia AM: Prevalence of Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data is updated yearly, averaging 4.300 % from Dec 1998 (Median) to 2016, with 5 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 5.600 % in 2005 and a record low of 2.600 % in 2000. Armenia AM: Prevalence of Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Armenia – Table AM.World Bank.WDI: Social: Health Statistics. Prevalence of wasting, male, is the proportion of boys under age 5 whose weight for height is more than two standard deviations below the median for the international reference population ages 0-59 months.;UNICEF, WHO, World Bank: Joint child Malnutrition Estimates (JME). Aggregation is based on UNICEF, WHO, and the World Bank harmonized dataset (adjusted, comparable data) and methodology.;;Undernourished children have lower resistance to infection and are more likely to die from common childhood ailments such as diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections. Frequent illness saps the nutritional status of those who survive, locking them into a vicious cycle of recurring sickness and faltering growth (UNICEF). Estimates are from national survey data. Being even mildly underweight increases the risk of death and inhibits cognitive development in children. And it perpetuates the problem across generations, as malnourished women are more likely to have low-birth-weight babies. Stunting, or being below median height for age, is often used as a proxy for multifaceted deprivation and as an indicator of long-term changes in malnutrition.

在2016年，亚美尼亚AM地区儿童体重与身高比例失衡的普遍率数据报告为4.000%，较之前2010年的4.900%有所下降。亚美尼亚AM地区儿童体重与身高比例失衡的普遍率数据自1998年12月（中位数）至2016年逐年更新，平均值为4.300%，共计5个观测值。数据在2005年达到历史最高值5.600%，在2000年达到历史最低值2.600%。亚美尼亚AM地区儿童体重与身高比例失衡的数据在CEIC中保持活跃状态，并由世界银行进行报告。该数据归类于全球数据库中的亚美尼亚-AM.World Bank.WDI：社会-健康统计数据。体重与身高比例失衡的普遍率（男性），是指5岁以下男孩中，体重与身高之比超过国际参考人群0-59个月年龄中位数两个标准差以上的比例；联合国儿童基金会、世界卫生组织、世界银行：联合儿童营养不良估算（JME）。数据汇总基于联合国儿童基金会、世界卫生组织和世界银行协调的数据库（调整后，可比数据）及方法。营养不良的儿童对感染的抵抗力较低，更易因常见儿童疾病如腹泻病和呼吸道感染而死亡。频繁的疾病会削弱幸存者的营养状况，使他们陷入反复生病和生长缓慢的恶性循环（联合国儿童基金会）。估算数据来源于国家调查数据。即使是轻微的体重不足也会增加死亡风险并抑制儿童的认知发展。而且，这一问题还会代际相传，因为营养不良的妇女更有可能生下低体重婴儿。发育迟缓，即年龄对应的身高低于中位数，通常被用作多维剥夺的替代指标，以及长期营养不良变化的长远指标。
