India Prevalence of stunting, height for age (modeled estimate, % of children under 5): Key Points
- India's prevalence of stunting, height for age tells a 17% story: 39.60 Percentage at the 2014 starting line, 32.80 Percentage by 2023, down the whole way through.
- 2015-2020: erodes to 33.80 Percentage (-15%).
- 2021-2023: sits at 32.80 Percentage, near enough unchanged.
- 2017: The outlier year. 37.70 to 36.60 Percentage (~3%), well outside the pace set elsewhere.
- Net result across the whole period: down 17.2%, closing 2023 at 32.80 Percentage.
Why This Keeps Falling
A run this consistent over 10 years rules out random noise as the explanation. Something is systematically pushing this number the same way, year after year.
The single most useful thing to do with this chart is compare India against its neighbors or peers on the same prevalence of stunting, height for age series, not read the line in isolation — a number only means something relative to where everyone else stands.
India's number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
