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.
