Determinants of undernutrition prevalence in children aged 0-59 months in sub-Saharan Africa between 2000 and 2015. A report from the World Bank database.

CONCLUSIONS: Undernutrition represents a major public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa and its prevalence reduction during the period 2000-2015 was inconsistent. Improving water accessibility and number of medical doctors along with reducing HIV prevalence and poverty could significantly reduce undernutrition prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa.
