Abstract
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD - Many low- and middle-income countries are faced with a rise in the double burden of malnutrition
- undernutrition and overweight/obesity. Nutrition-related factors contribute to approximately 45%
of deaths in children under five years (mainly due to undernutrition) globally, while low- and
middle-income countries are simultaneously witnessing a rise in childhood overweight and
obesity. In 2016, an estimated 41 million children under the age of five in low- and middle-income
countries were overweight or obese, while 155 million were chronically undernourished. In Africa
alone, the estimated prevalence of overweight and obese children in 2010 was 8.5%, expected to
reach 12.7% in 2020. In comparison, globally, one in nine people are either hungry or
undernourished, while one in three people are overweight. - 2024 |
