a Lives saved due to the intervention listed in the column header.

b These are maternal deaths; all other deaths represent children younger than 5 years.

c Additional lives saved due to prevention of disease (not intervention-specific).

Note: Including 12 states participating in India’s 2010–2013 measles supplementary immunization activity. Analyses use proportional mortality from the Million Deaths Study22 and vitamin A effectiveness from the Deworming and Enhanced Vitamin A Trial.21 Lives saved were calculated for the period 2010–2013. Compliance figures apply to multiple micronutrients and calcium for pregnant women, and preventive zinc for children; compliance scenarios are outlined in Table 2.
