MUAC Community Website

The attached study entitled Review of Nutrition and Mortality Indicators for the IPC - Reference Levels and Decision-making was commissioned by the SCN Task Force on Assessment, Monitoring and Evaluation (TF/AME) and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Global Partnership.

Here are a report and an associated presentation on the use of MUAC and W/H (using the NCHS reference and the WHO standard) for surveys estimating the prevalence of acute undernutrition and for program admission. Both were produced by Save the Children (UK) under an agreement with UNICEF on behalf of the IASC Global Nutrition Cluster.
