Download or read book The Double Burden of Malnutrition written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In several developing countries, undernourishment is still prevalent while obesity and its related co-morbidities, including chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, are emerging and contributing increasingly to morbidity and mortality. Several countries are now facing a double burden of malnutrition, i.e. caloric (energy) and micronutrient deficiencies and, at the same time, obesity and diet-related chronic diseases. This "nutrition transition" is associated with rapid economic development, urbanization and global changes, which lead to shifts towards a more energy dense diet, including more fat and sugar and more processed foods, and at the same time dramatic alterations in physical activity patterns and lifestyles. While infectious diseases and maternal and child undernutrition continue to take an enormous toll in lives and health worldwide, the rapid rise of NCDs represents one of the major health challenges to global development in the twenty-first century and threatens economic and social development of nations as well as the lives and health of millions globally. This publication explores the situation of the double burden of malnutrition in six geographically and culturally diverse case study countries and presents conclusions and recommendations from a follow-up workshop with the case study authors.

Download or read book Nutrition in Vulnerable Groups written by Enbo Ma and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition requirements vary in children, pregnancy, and the elderly for the physiological difference in the body. To maintain good health and prevent diseases, the adequacy of nutrients is essential; and adherence to healthy diets recommended needs to be monitored. Uncertain physical, social, cultural, and economic situations limit access to nutritious intake and impact health both in the developing (e.g., wasting, stunting, underweight, and mineral/vitamin-related malnutrition) and developed (e.g., obesity) worlds. However, a healthy diet is not only determined by food safety and quality, but also by food education, nutritional practice during the life stages, and food availability and accessibility to the population. This is true in developing countries, but also in developed ones, where vulnerable groups (including people living in conditions of poverty, unemployment, lack of schooling, people with forms of addiction and ethnical minorities) struggle to adhere to healthy diets and choose cheaper, and often unhealthy options. As a consequence, excessive consumption of limited nutrients and inappropriate supplementation becomes as unhealthy as not consuming enough. In the past three years, the pandemic of COVID-19 has put significant troubles on human society, exacerbating hard life conditions in vulnerable groups and worsening their adherence to healthy lifestyles and food choices. Therefore, the nutrition and diet-related health issues in vulnerable people must be highlighted and followed up.
