Child and maternal undernutrition was responsible for the next largest attributable burden of the risk factor clusters (1·4 million [1·2 million to 1·7 million] deaths; 6·7% [5·7–7·7] of global DALYs in 2010), with childhood underweight the largest individual contributor (0·9 million [0·7 million to 1·0 million]; 3·1% [2·6–3·7]), followed by iron deficiency (0·1 million [0·09 million to 0·14 million]; 1·9% [1·4–2·6]), and suboptimal breast feeding (0·5 million [0·3 million to 0·8 million]; 1·9% [1·2–2·7]). Vitamin A and zinc deficiencies amongst children accounted for less than 0·8% of the disease burden.
