UNICEF, WHO, ASEAN report two faces of malnutrition among Filipino children
Malnutrition among children does not only stem from insufficient food intake; overeating makes them unhealthy, too.
With some children consuming more than the dietary requirement and others not receiving enough nutrients, middle-income countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand face the “double burden of malnutrition,” according to a joint report by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
