Double burden of malnutrition in India - Undernutrition and Overnutrition

Dual burden of malnutrition in India - malnutrition and malnutrition Introduction The double burden of nutrition, including malnutrition (stagnation, low body weight and weight loss) and hyperalimentation (overweight and obesity), for many developing countries It is a big public health issue. . In the world, an estimated 90,000 children under 5 years of age are of low weight in 2012 and middle Asian low income countries account for over 70% of these malnourished children (WHO, 2012a).

Malnutrition includes low nutrition and hyper nutrition. In some countries, we face double malnutrition of malnutrition with overweight, obesity, diet related diseases (WHO, 2017). For example, in some countries, such as Egypt, Iraq, Vanuatu, the number of people weakened below 5 years of age exceeds 20% of the population and adult obesity exceeds 20% (FAO et al., 2017). This double burden is becoming more common in low-income and middle-income countries (World Health Organization, 2017). Socioeconomic status and inequality The low socioeconomic status affects the ability of families to purchase nutritious foods (WHO, 2017). High-income countries and middle-income countries have the highest overweight but morbidity rates of low-income countries and middle-income countries are still high, between 10% and 30% (World Health Organization, 2017).

Malnutrition is caused by diet that causes health problems due to inappropriate or excess nutrition. It is a kind of disease including malnutrition and malnutrition. Overnutrition may lead to obesity and overweight. In some developing countries, overnutrition in the form of obesity is beginning to appear in the same community as malnutrition. However, the term malnutrition is often used only to refer to malnutrition. This applies in particular to the context of development cooperation. Therefore, "nutrition" in documents from the World Health Organization, UNICEF, Save the Children, or other international non-governmental organization (NGO) is often considered malnutrition.

There are several kinds of malnutrition. Malnutrition and overnutrition are all kinds of malnutrition. Malnutrition is usually considered when people hear the word "nutrition" - accidental weight loss due to insufficient calories and body proteins, resulting in muscle loss and loss of body function. Malnutrition is common in patients with gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and all types of advanced cancers. In contrast, overnutrition and obesity are a type of malnutrition, most people are shocked by this, in fact it is a sign of malnutrition. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of 13 cancers and adverse consequences of cancer treatment. Whether a patient suffers from malnutrition or overnutrition has a profound effect on the quality of his or her life.
