First Report on the World Nutrition Situation - Supplement on Methods and Statistics

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 1988

Available in : English

This supplement to the ACC/SCN's First Report on the World Nutrition Situation essentially expands section 4 of that report - the Technical Notes - to give more details, for two main purposes. In the first place, it was felt that an understanding of what is known about the world nutrition situation needs considerable detail on sources of data, assumptions, and analytical methods; in addition, the basic data used are reproduced here for possible further examination or analysis. Second, the methods may be used, no doubt with some development, for future reports on world nutrition. This supplement will provide a source of reference for methodology.
