I: High Prev - Those reported with high prevalences of malnutrition (where available >20% wasting) and/or micronutrient deficiency diseases and sharply elevated mortality (×3 normal)

II: High Risk - Population at high risk, limited data available, population likely to contain pockets of malnutrition (e.g. wasting).

IIb: Mod Risk - Population at moderate risk, may be data available, pockets of malnutrition may exist.

IIc: Not Critical - Probably not at heightened nutritional risk.

III: Unknown - No information on nutritional status available.

* Indicates status of nutritional situation. Imp = improving; det = deteriorating; stat = static (i.e. no change).
