The Nutrition Domain

You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:

• Period: Filters by the collection/reporting period.

  • Start date:

  • End date:

• Geographic*: Filters by location of the nutrition data. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.

• Indicator*: Filers by a metric of interest and allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the nutrition domain include options such as Anemia among pregnant women % and Crude Mortality Rate.

• Data Source Document*: Filters by the name of the document used as the primary source of information or data.

*You can search using any of the above criteria marked with an asterisk. You can also search, but not filter, by:

• UN CPC v2 code and description: Classification structure of products based on the UN’s Central Product Classification (CPC) rules.

• Data Source Organization: The name or unique numeric id of the organization that provided the data source document.

• Survey name:

• Geographic unit code:

• Survey type name:

• Product common name:

Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.

The Nutrition domain data selection table includes the following columns:

• Country: The name of the country where the nutrition data was collected.

• Locality:

• Indicator: Metric of interest that allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the nutrition domain include options such as Anemia among pregnant women % and Crude Mortality Rate.

• First:

• Last:

• Count: The number of data points in the data series.

• Info: Hover over the information icon in a row to see more details including the data series ID and data source document.

In addition to selecting data series, you can interact with the data selection table in the following ways:

• Selected data series can be viewed in the Selected tab.

• You can clear your selections using the Clear Selected button.

• By default the series are ordered alphabetically by country. You can click on the header of any column to sort by that column instead of by country.

• Selecting one or more data series creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.
