UN Standing Committee on Nutrition
Published in : 1991
Available in : English
Because undernutrition and malnutrition are the result of different economic and social determinants, it is difficult in field studies - not being double blind, randomized and placebo controlled - to attribute significant outcomes to specific interventions. And yet the need for successful nutrition programmes is becoming more compelling. They are required by decision-makers who could formulate nutrition policies and adapt the major features of success to the local characteristics in their countries. The problem is still very much with us. Although in some developing countries rates of malnutrition have diminished, the total numbers of the malnourished are increasing as a result of population growth.
