22 Dec 2022 --- The new study published in Nutrients explores the relationship between malnutrition and teenagers living in the slums of Pakistan. Malnutrition was accounted for as both under and overnutrition, and the researchers also analyzed awareness and meanings of malnutrition. The authors say that malnutrition is a global problem, as every country in the world faces populations with body weights above or below the healthy weight. South-East Asia has high levels of undernutrition, although overnutrition is increasing.
