a Avg Status = taken as the average of the 5 data points

b For Trend in Status for Proportion of the population whose income is less than $1.25 a day and Maternal mortality ratio, a negative trend is the desired outcome. For example, for maternal mortality ratio, a negative trend indicates that there is a decrease in the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes while pregnant or within 42 days or pregnancy termination per 100,000 live births
