1 All confidence intervals with the exception of the second set in national totals are based on 1000 Monte Carlo simulations holding the global parameter (increased disease cost of malnutrition) constant. This allows states to be compared to each other and to the national total. The second set of confidence intervals for the national totals are based on 1000 Monte Carlo simulations where the global parameter varies according to the distribution outlined in S1 Appendix and are included to describe the sensitivity of the overall results.
