1. Rates of acute malnutrition in relation to thresholds for response. A number of
classification systems have been developed around which particular emergency
interventions should be initiated. In addition, more specific nutrition ‘decision trees’ have
been developed to indicate when selective feeding programmes should be started.
2. Trends over time and seasonality. Nutrition data must be interpreted in relation to pre-
emergency levels of malnutrition and normal seasonal patterns.
3. Underlying causes of malnutrition. The relative importance of food, health and care as
nutritional risk factors need to be identified so that appropriate responses can be
prioritized.
4. Relationship between malnutrition and mortality. The relationship between mortality
and nutritional status is not clearly defined. In some cases it is strong and in others it is
weaker.
