NOTES

Figure in brackets [ ] denotes prevalence category, i.e. proportion of the population undernourished in 1996-98.

Category

a: GNP estimated using the World Bank Atlas method, at constant 1995 prices.

b: GNP per capita is GNP divided by mid year population

c: Average annual rate of growth of GNP per capita is calculated for constant prices GNP per capita in national currency units.

d: GNP measured at purchasing power parity (PPP) is GNP converted into international dollars by the PPP exchange rate. One international dollar has the same purchasing power over domestic GNP that the U.S. dollar has over U.S. GNP.

e: Prevalence of child malnutrition is the percentage of children under 5 whose weight for age is less than minus 2 standard deviations from the mean of the reference population which is based on children from the US, assumed to be well nourished.

f: Under five mortality is the probability that a child born in the indicated year will die before reaching the age of 5.
