This Excel programme contains the actual algorithms developed in this paper. For each indicator, i.e. underweight, stunting, wasting and overweight, a NCHS-based prevalence estimate in percentage is expected from the user, from which the predicted WHO-based estimate with its 95% CI will be generated by the programme.
