description |
Despite global efforts to address
malnutrition, the numbers of children under five who are not
growing properly are alarming: 150.8 million (22.2 percent)
are stunted (too short for their age), 50.5 million (7.5
percent) are wasted (too thin for their height), and 38.3
million (5.6 percent) are overweight (too heavy for their
height). Children living in lower-middle income countries
(LMIC) are particularly affected. At these rates, the world
is off course to reach the World Health Assembly targets for
2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. |
