Nutrition and Health in Thailand: Trends and action

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 1992

Available in : English

The objective of this case study is to draw important conclusions as to which programs are effective in combatting and preventing malnutrition, why, and how they are best managed. The scope goes beyond "nutrition" programs per se, however. In addition to the analysis of changes in nutritional status, the study investigates the scope of indirect actions and trends in socio-economic factors (agriculture, food, industry, education and health) that have a bearing on the nutritional status of the Thai population.
