Estimate:
  • Subnationally representative
Summary 

Annual estimates were produced for overweight and wasting prevalence for children under 5 years of age at the 5x5 km-level for 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) between 2000-2017. These estimates were produced using a geo-positioned dataset created from 420 household surveys. Survey sources used include the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) series, and other country‐specific surveys.

This dataset includes the following:

  • GeoTIFF raster files for pixel-level estimates of under-5 overweight and wasting prevalence
  • CSV files of aggregated overweight and wasting prevalence for each country at zero, first, and second administrative divisions
  • Code files used to generate the estimates
