Here are the metrics you're looking for:

Stunting is: Low Height for Age (HAZ) scores

Wasting is: Low Weight for Height scores.

Here is the defintion from WHO:

http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/moderate_malnutrition/en/

They have freely available code which can be implemented in R or Stata to compute these metrics.

Just to avoid confusion on the answers:

The question is about stunting and wasting on adults. Not children.

Yes for children there is a lot written and tools. The previous links document for example information from WHO.

For adults very little to nothing have been written about it. I attach a paper discussing this. Read their methods and check their references to support.

There is something about nutrition on elderly population but not specific to stuting and wasting. We must note that these words (stuting and wasted) suppose that someone is growing. Which is not the case in the adults.

Hope it helps and guide you.

I thank you for all attempts to my question ,but literature shows that there is no readily available statistically proven method used as an indicator of stunting and wasting in adult individuals. Hopefully it is a question to be answered in the future.
