Extended Data Fig. 2: Comparison of risk of death (age 0–11 months) and EBF prevalence by area.
From: Mapping exclusive breastfeeding in Africa between 2000 and 2017
Overlapping population-weighted tertiles of mortality risk (in children 0–11 months)13 and EBF prevalence (in children 0–5 months) in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. Cut-offs for the tertiles were 20.8 and 36.1% for the EBF prevalence axis, and 4.3 and 6.4% for the risk of death axis. Maps reflect administrative boundaries, land cover, lakes and population; gray-colored grid cells had fewer than ten people per 1 km × 1 km grid cell and were classified as ‘barren or sparsely vegetated’, or were not included in this analysis.
