Broad Categories of Assigned Nutritional Risks, 2020

Notes: State agencies could report up to 10 nutritional risk criteria for each participant. This figure examines all the risk criteria reported for every participant. When multiple risk criteria within the same nutritional risk were reported for one person, these criteria were combined and counted one time to accurately calculate the number and percentage of participants assigned a nutritional risk or broad risk category. Because multiple risks are reported, rows total more than 100.0 percent.
