Definition Underheight or stunted is a condition where the child's height is lower than that of a normal person of the same age and is measured using height-for-age as the index
Wasting or Thin is a condition where the child's weight is lower relative to his/her height or length than that of a normal child and is measured using weight-for-height as the index
Underweight is a condition where the child's weight is lower than that of a normal person of the same age and is measured using weight-for-age as the index
Overweight is a condition where a person's weight is greater than that of a normal person of the same age (in case of adolescents) or height (in case of adults), with BMI of more than P85 (85th percentile) for adolescents or between 25 and 30 kg/m2 for adults
Method of Computation "SD score = (height of individual - median value of height for age of reference population) / (standard deviation value of reference population)

Cutoff points:
Underheight or stunted: SD < -2
Normal: SD = -2 to +2
Above average or tall: SD > +2"

"SD score = (weight of individual - median value of weight for height of reference population) / (standard deviation value of reference population)

Cutoff points:
Wasting or thin: SD < -2
Normal: SD = -2 to +2
Overweight: SD > +2"

"SD score =(weight of individual - median value of weight for age of reference population) / (standard deviation value of reference population)

Cutoff points:
Underweight: SD < -2
Normal: SD = -2 to +2
Overweight: SD > +2"
