A) Infant mortality rate: Decreased, showing improvement.
B) Obesity in women (BMI >= 25.0 kg/m2): Increased, showing worsening, i.e., no improvement.
C) Anaemia in children (6-59 months): Increased, showing worsening, i.e., no improvement.
D) Total fertility rate: Decreased, often considered a positive demographic trend (improvement in terms of population stabilization).
