What does malnutrition look like globally?

According to data provided by UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Group, 144.0 million children under 5 suffer from stunting, 47.0 million children under 5 were wasted of which 14.3 million were severely wasted, and 38.3 million were overweight.

Stunting is the impaired growth and development that children experience from poor nutrition.
Overweight is the abnormal or excessive fat accumulations that pose a health risk.
Wasting involves significant and rapid weight loss and failure to gain weight.
