Under-nutrition and obesity: two sides of the same coin? (Unimondo)

Unimondo reported on a study published in the Lancet. According to the study, “A new approach must be urgently defined to simultaneously reverse under-nutrition and obesity, because these problems are increasingly interconnected due to the rapid changes taking place in the food systems of the countries.” The research work, which is based on data collected in more than 120 low- and middle-income countries between 1990 and 2010, was funded by WHO through donations IFPRI, the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health and others.
