Abstract Objective To quantify the prevalence and trends of stunting among children using the WHO growth standards. Design Five hundred and seventy-six nationally representative surveys, including anthropometric data, were analysed. Stunting was defined as the proportion of children below −2sd from the WHO length- or height-for-age standards median. Linear mixed-effects modelling was used to estimate rates and numbers of affected children from 1990 to 2010, and projections to 2020. Setting One hundred and forty-eight developed and developing countries. Subjects Boys and girls from birth to 60 months. Results In 2010, it is estimated that 171 million children (167 million in developing countries) were stunted. Globally, childhood stunting de...
