Dear Emily,

From our expert Monica Kothari :
STATcompiler presents the indicator for defacto interviewed women with a child in the 5 years preceding the survey, not currently pregnant and at least one month post partum, which is a different definition used for this indicator compared to the final reports.

I would suggest to refer to the final report/Nut Update numbers as a preferred option to get the prevalence of underweight among women. If you still want to use the STATcompiler numbers, you should be aware that the universe of women for which underweight is reported in the SC is different than the DHS final reports.

Hope this answers your question,
Thanks,
Sarah at DHS
