What part of the world is undernutrition happening?
Undernutrition is most prevalent in developing regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Countries facing conflict, economic instability, and climate change are especially affected, leading to high rates of stunting, wasting, and micronutrient deficiencies among vulnerable populations. Efforts to combat undernutrition focus on improving food security, healthcare access, and education in these areas.
What organ systems are affected by undernutrition in infancy and early childhood?
Undernutrition in infancy and early childhood primarily affects the growth and development of the gastrointestinal, immune, and neurological systems. The gastrointestinal system may struggle with nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies and developmental delays. The immune system becomes compromised, increasing vulnerability to infections and illnesses. Additionally, undernutrition can hinder brain development, impacting cognitive function and overall developmental milestones.
What will the small intestine do in case of severe under nutrition?
In case of severe undernutrition, the small intestine may undergo structural changes, such as villous atrophy, reduced surface area, and impaired nutrient absorption. These changes can lead to malabsorption of nutrients and exacerbate the consequences of undernutrition, further compromising overall health and well-being.
