Information

Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) can lead to devastating health consequences including higher risks for anemia, blindness, cognitive impairments, poor birth outcomes, infections, and mortality. New data in a recent publication in Lancet Global Health, “Micronutrient deficiencies among preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age worldwide: a pooled analysis of individual-level data from population-representative surveys” indicates alarming levels of MND across all global contexts. There is an increasing need to ensure that everyone has access to a variety of micronutrient–dense foods.

This Special Series of Coffee and Chai Chats with Experts spotlighting new #HiddenHunger global data and actions needed hosted by the Micronutrient Forum offers a deep-dive into selected key topics on micronutrient deficiencies worldwide in the light of these latest findings.
