dc.description.abstractWe examined the difference in the prevalence estimates of the outcome indicators for the new World Health Organization [‎WHO]‎ child growth standard reference [‎WHO 2006]‎ and the National Center for Health Statistics [‎NCHS]‎/WHO reference using the National Protein-Energy Malnutrition Survey dataset. Based on the NCHS/WHO reference, overall prevalence estimates of underweight, wasting, stunting and overweight were 17.8%, 7.4%, 10.9% and 1.3% compared to 11.3%, 7.6%, 13.0% and 1.9% respectively calculated according to the WHO 2006 reference: stunting and overweight showed statistically significantly higher estimates, whereas underweight was statistically significantly lower. The differences were not consistent across age groupsEN
