Data are presented for child and maternal malnutrition and the three leading components. Data shown are percent of total disability-adjusted life-years for each risk that manifests through different diseases. Protein-energy malnutrition is a specific disease cause in Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, as opposed to the malnutrition risk factor indicators. For child and maternal malnutrition, the other category includes childhood infections other than diarrhoeal diseases and lower respiratory infections, vitamin A deficiency, and sudden infant death syndrome.
