Between 2017 and 2021, the prevalence of stunting among young children under five years in China dropped below five percent. In the past two decades, nutrition among the Chinese population continued to improve, with childhood wasting and stunting under control. Stunting refers to a child being too short for his or her age and is an important indicator reflecting chronic undernutrition.
