Understanding Nutritional Status Indicators
The question asks to identify correct statements defining key nutritional status indicators: underweight, stunting, and wasting based on standard anthropometric measurements.
Analyzing Nutritional Indicator Statements
- Statement A: Low weight for age signifies underweight
This statement is correct. Underweight is defined as a low weight-for-age measurement, indicating a child is lighter than expected for their age. - Statement B: Low weight for age signifies wasting
This statement is incorrect. Low weight-for-age signifies underweight. Wasting refers specifically to low weight-for-height. - Statement C: Low height for age signifies stunting
This statement is correct. Stunting is defined as a low height-for-age measurement, indicating a child is shorter than expected for their age, reflecting chronic malnutrition. - Statement D: Low height for age signifies wasting
This statement is incorrect. Low height-for-age signifies stunting. Wasting is defined by low weight-for-height. - Statement E: Low weight for height signifies underweight
This statement is incorrect. Low weight-for-height is the definition of wasting, indicating acute malnutrition. Underweight is low weight-for-age.
Correct Statements Identified
Based on the analysis, the correct statements are:
- A. Low weight for age signifies underweight
- C. Low height for age signifies stunting
Final Answer Selection
Statements A and C are correct. Therefore, the correct option is the one that includes only A and C.
