Children under 5 = Children under 5 years old?
Please look at this sentence.
"The survey aimed to provide background information for the country's mission to reduce malnutrition rate ,which found to be 27.5 per cent among children under five nationwide."
For children under five nationwide, Doesn't it need putting years old? I mean, should it be written as "children under five years old" ?
Ah! Is "Children under five years old children" perfectly wrong,isn't it?
Thank you for your answer in advance.

Son James rate ,which found to be 27.5 per cent among children under five nationwide."'... children under five ...' is fine.
There should be a space after, not before, the comma, and we need 'was' before 'found'.
