War and global epidemics are two of the most destructive forces shaping the modern world, and their relationship is far more intertwined than many realize. Each crisis magnifies the other, creating a vicious cycle that threatens human survival, weakens nations, and destabilizes entire regions.
Malnutrition and obesity represent a dual global health
challenge.
Malnutrition in developing nations and obesity in wealthy
nations are both major public health problems, even though they manifest
differently in each location.
In developing countries, malnutrition presents a dual
burden, where undernutrition (such as stunting, underweight, and micronutrient
deficiencies) coexists with overnutrition (overweight and obesity) within
individuals, households, or populations.
