Venn Diagram showing relationship between various nutritional indicators in the malnourished children. a underweight [weight-for-age z-score (WAZ)], thinness [BMI-for-age z-score (BAZ)], stunting [height-for-age z-score (HAZ)] in 2–12 year olds and (b) stunting [height-for-age z-score (HAZ)], wasting [weight-for-height z-score (WHZ)], and underweight [weight-for-age z-score (WAZ)] in 2–5 year olds. The overlap between the different indicators is illustrated. Regarding weight for age, the z-scores for 2 children were omitted because of outlier values. A further 2 children >10 years of age were not included in this calculation. Similarly, . Finally, with regard to weight-for-height z-score, only 74 children ≤5 years old were included in the calculation
