Undernutrition (wasting, stunting, and underweight), insufficient vitamins and minerals, overweight, obesity, and the resulting diet-related noncommunicable illnesses are all examples of malnutrition.
Overweight or obese people account for 1.9 billion adults, while underweight individuals account for 462 million.
In 2020, it was anticipated that 149 million children under the age of five were stunted (too short for their age), 45 million were wasted (too thin for their height), and 38.9 million were overweight or obese.
Undernutrition is responsible for almost 45 percent of mortality among children under the age of five. Low- and middle-income countries are the most affected. At the same time, childhood overweight and obesity rates are rising in these same countries.
