This document provides formulas and computations for calculating prevalence rates of undernutrition in target populations of children aged 0-59 months. It outlines the prevalence rates for different age groups within that target population, including rates for children 0-11 months, 12-23 months, 12-59 months, and 24-59 months. It also provides the formula for calculating the percentage of optimal coverage by dividing the total number of children weighed by the target population.

TARGET POPULATION PREVALENCE RATE OF UNDERNUTRITION
0-59 months old children Underweight + Severely Underweight
= Total Population x 0.10714 or 10.714% Total Number of PSC Weighed
0-11 months old children
= Total Population x 0.02056 or 2.056% AGE IN MONTHS 12-23 months old children Format : YEAR/MONTH/DAY = Total Population x 0.02071 or 2.071% = Date of Weighing minus (–) Date of Birth 12-59 months old children = Total Population x 0.08658 or 8.658% % OPT COVERAGE 24-59 months old children = Total Population x 0.06587 or 6.587% Total number of PSC weighed Target Population (0-59 months)
