Any form of malnutrition affected 23 % of children, 36 % of girls and 56 % of women. Children were especially affected by anaemia, overweight\/obesity and stunting (15\u00b72, 9\u00b79, 7\u00b74 %, respectively). Girls were affected by overweight\/obesity, anaemia and stunting (22\u00b75, 15\u00b72, 6\u00b72 %). Women were strongly affected by overweight\/obesity, anaemia and stunting (43\u00b78, 19\u00b78, 10\u00b75 %). Stunting or short stature was higher in low-SEW settings, doubling in prevalence between low and high levels, increasing four times among women in reproductive age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b705). Excess weight among children was higher in high-SEW settings, in women the tendency was inverse.
