“Early-Life Undernourishment in Developing Countries: Prevalence, Impacts over the Life Cycle and Determinants”
Abstract:
Early-life undernourishment is a widespread phenomenon in many developing countries, with an estimated 170 million children under 5 years of age stunted, the standard indicator of chronic malnutrition. This presentation summarizes an ongoing work program on this topic, with reference to the prevalence, impacts and determinants of such undernutrition.
