Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Target
Target 2.2. By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons.
Indicator
Indicator 2.2.2. Prevalence of malnutrition (weight for height, standard deviation >+2 or <-2 from the median of the WHO Child Growth Standards) among children under 5 years of age, disaggregated by type (emaciation and excess weight)
Sub-indicator
Sub-indicator 2.2.2.1. Proportion of children aged 2 to 4 years with obesity, overweight or underweight
Type of indicator (global, European, national)
- Global
- European (sdg_02_10 (s))
- National
- s: similar
Definition
Proportion of children between 2 and 4 years of age with obesity, overweight or underweight
Calculation method
\[ P P M_{2-4}^{t}=\frac{P M_{2-4}^{t}}{P_{2-4}^{t}} \cdot 100 \]Where: \( PM_{2-4}^{t}\)is the population between 2 and 4 years with malnutrition in year t and \( P_{2-4}^{t}\)is the population between 2 and 4 years in year t.

Observations
Up to now the periodicity was six-year, but it has changed to five-yearly In the population of 2 to 17 years, overweight and obesity on the one hand, and insufficient weight on the other, are defined, according to sex and age, using the specific cut-off points established by Cole et al1 and by Cole et al2respectively. 1: Cole TJ, Bellizzi MC, Flegal KM, Dietz WH.
