SCN News No 25 - School-age Children: Their Health and Nutrition

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 2002

Available in : English

This issue of SCN News features a comprehensive review of the nutrition and health status of school-age children, an initiative of the SCN Working Group on Nutrition of the School-Age Child chaired very ably during 2000-2002 by Don Bundy of the World Bank. For many decades a neglected age group, the nutritional well being of children six to 18 years reflects cumulative deficits brought about by poor access to food and health care as well as a poor home environment.
