Protein-energy malnutrition death rates by age, World, 1990 to 2017

Death rates from protein-energy malnutrition measured per 100,000 individuals across various age categories. Also shown is the total death rate across all ages (not
age-standardized) and the age-standardized death rate. Age-standardization assumes a constant population age & structure to allow for comparisons between
countries and with time without the effects of a changing age distribution within a population (e.g. aging).
