Mapping local patterns of childhood overweight and wasting in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2017.

Link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-020-0807-6 Authors: , Abstract: A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates of overweight and wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age in 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 and aggregate these to policy-relevant…
