Adult: Assessment of Nutritional Status in Emergency-Effected Populations
http://acc.unsystem.org/scn/Publications/RNIS/adultrnissupplement.pdf
Steve Collins, Arabella Duffield & Mark Myatt, ACC/Sub-Committee on Nutrition, United Nations, July 2000
This article describes simple techniques suitable for the assessment of the nutritional status of adults aged 20-60 years in emergency-affected populations. The BMI (Body Mass Index), MUAC (Mid-upper Arm Circumference), and clinical models are assessed for their usefulness in determining the prevalence of chronic undernutrition in adults at the population level, and also for screening severely undernourished adults for entrance to feeding clinics.

Adolescence: Assessment of Nutritional Status in Emergency-Effected Populations
http://acc.unsystem.org/scn/Publications/RNIS/adolescentrnissup.PDF
Steve Collins, Arabella Duffield ACC/Sub-Committee on Nutrition, United Nations, July 2000
The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends using the BMI (Body Mass Index) of individual adolescents compared to a reference population made up of adolescents in the United States and using the 5th centile of this reference as the cut-off point to define undernutrition. These recommendations may not be appropriate; surveys using these recommendations have found unrealistically high levels of adolescent undernutrition.
