Undernutrition Mapping in Africa


Mean height-for-age z-score map for Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique.
Undernutrition among children under five years continues to be a public health challenge in many low- and middle-income countries and can lead to growth stunting. Infectious diseases may also affect child growth. We develop geostatistical methods to study the association between childhood undernutrition and other diseases (such as malaria).
