Answer:
deaths to children under 5
Explanation:
Malnutrition is the leading cause of death in 5-year-olds in developing countries. It is estimated that 56% of child deaths due to malnutrition are due to the potentiating effects of mild and moderate forms of this disease.
About 20-30% of severely malnourished children die during treatment in health services in developing countries. These percentages have remained unchanged over the past 5 decades and correspond to a percentage 4 to 6 times higher than the 5% rate recognized as acceptable by WHO.
