Stunting and Wasting in Asia
According to a report by the World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and World Bank Group, more than half of all stunted children, almost half of all overweight children and more than two-thirds of all wasted children live in Asia.
Wasting, or acute malnutrition, is the result of recent rapid weight loss or the failure to gain weight.

Surprised to read there is stunting in Singapore too.
In Singapore, 2.8 per cent of children aged five or younger in 2020 were stunted, down from 4.4 per cent in 2000.
