A study claiming to reveal the most comprehensive assessment of the 2012 global nutrition targets (GNT) says that countries will only meet some goals by 2030. Over 700 multinational researchers noted progress in child wasting and a status quo in reducing anemia, next to increases in child obesity. GNTs are tied to low birthweight, exclusive breastfeeding, child growth and anemia among females of reproductive age. They were set by the World Health Assembly with a 2025 deadline, which WHO extended to 2030 to eliminate hunger, a key part of its Sustainable Development Goal.
