# data[].attributes.body
The WHO has to write and pass policies that address the global health problem of malnourishment, especially in lower income countries. Also, the newest world health concern of overweight and obese individuals, most notably children, must be adequately addressed. The beginning steps should include education and government regulations on food products, and providing high-nutrient food to the less developed countries

7.  Statistics on Malnutrition and Disability

# data[].attributes.body
Over one billion people are malnourished and one billion live with a disability. In Africa, a recent review estimated that 56 million out of a total of 158 million children younger than 5 years are stunted, 6 million are severely wasted, and 28 million are underweight. Eighty percent of the world's disabled population live in low-income countries, many in Africa.

Malnutrition contributes to an individuals' physical, intellectual, or mental disabilities. Malnutrition and disability are linked and influence one another. Malnutrition can cause or contribute to disabilities and disabilities can contribute to malnutrition. Infants and children who are malnourished and stunted are also more likely to screen positive for disability. Some of the more common disabilities associated with malnutrition include cerebral palsy, craniofacial anomalies and genetic syndromes such as Down syndrome and Pierre Robin sequence.

Obesity is a special form of malnutrition (overnutrition) because the diet has low nutrients in conjunction with a high fat and carbohydrate content. The number of overweight and obese children dramatically increased over the past 20 years. In 2010, there was an estimated 43 million children worldwide (35 million from developing countries) that were overweight or obese, and the number is expected to grow to 60 million by 2020.

4.  Information on "wasted" children and "stunted" children

# data[].attributes.body
Malnutrition causes specific neurological damage in children but not adults. A "wasted" child is one that is too thin, and a stunted child is one with impaired growth. The percentage of wasted children in low income countries is 8%. Long-term effects of malnutrition include coronary heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and the intellectual capacity of malnourished children is diminished as one ages.

3.  Dietary nutrients needed to prevent malnutrition

# data[].attributes.body
Two major dietary nutrients needed by humans are in two categories--macronutrients and micronutrients.  Macronutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, and fat.  Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals. Usually there is a shortage of both in malnourished individuals.

2.  A look at malnutrition as a global health concern 

# data[].attributes.body
Malnutrition increases the risk of disease and nearly 800 million people do not have enough to eat. Low income countries in particular have severe food shortages and inadequate diversity of food. Furthermore, malnutrition is more common among poor people and those with inadequate access to health education, clean water and good sanitation.

Malnutrition can be due to undernutrition due to inadequate calories and protein. Undernutrition can also be the result of people not utilizing the food they eat due to illness. In addition, malnutrition can be the result of excessive consumption of calories leading to individuals being overweight or obese.
