There are limits to this practice because, in the end, forms of deprivations and poverty are neither theoretically nor empirically fully separable. For example, the nutrition deprivation that can be measured by stunting among children or adults implicitly uses information that is directly linked to other forms of deprivation, since stunting is not only the result of malnutrition, but also neglect, lack of access to clean water and lack of access to timely healthcare. While MODA is strict when financial information is concerned and tries to be reasonably strict when forms of deprivation are concerned (e.g., stunting is not used as an indicator in the nutrition dimension in CC-MODA), it should be acknowledged that specific analyses may relax the decisions depending on the objective of the analyses, the further use of the indicators/ratios/indices in causal models and the availability and quality of the data.
