The UNICEF report also categorised every second Indian woman as anaemic, noting its prevalence among adolescent girls as twice as that of adolescent boys.

New Delhi:
Malnutrition caused 69% of deaths of children below the age of five in India, according to a UNICEF report released on Wednesday.

In its report titled ‘The State of the World’s Children 2019’, UNICEF said that every second child in that age group is affected by some form of malnutrition.

This includes stunting (35%), wasting (17%) and overweight (2%). Only 42% of children (in the age group of 6 to 23 months) are fed at an adequate frequency and 21% get an adequately diverse diet.
