Published in : 1994 Available in : English This report updates the results given in the Second Report on the World Nutrition Situation. New data available at country level1 give recent trends in prevalences of underweight children, as the main nutritional indicator, in 18 countries. These can be compared with those reported in Volume II, to give a total of 46 national trend estimates for the 1980s and 1990s. Primarily, this Update Report is concerned with trends around the period 1990 to 1993. Like the previous Update Report of 1989 (ACC/SCN, 1989), it does not make assessments at regional level, but aims to look at recent short-term trends, where possible drawing implications beyond the specific countries for which data are available.
