报告显示,曾经存在于财富谱两端的问题,如今已集中发生在贫困和中等收入的国家。尽管从1990年到2017年间,贫困国家儿童的发育迟缓率下降了40%左右,但现今仍有1.49亿4岁或4岁以下的儿童身高不达标,这种临床症状会影响他们的大脑和身体发育。
Another 50 million are afflicted by wasting, a chronic and debilitating thinness also born of poverty. At the same time, half of youngsters across the globe under five are not getting essential vitamins and minerals, a long-standing problem UNICEF has dubbed "hidden hunger". Over the past three decades, however, another form of child malnutrition has surged across the developing world: excess weight.
另外,还有5000万的儿童因贫困而身体瘦弱,这是一种长期的消瘦症。同时,全球5岁以下的儿童中,一半儿童得不到必要的维生素和矿物质,联合国儿童基金会将这一长期存在的问题称为“隐性饥饿”。然而,过去三十年间,另一种形式的儿童营养失衡现象正在发展中国家激增:超重。
"This triple burden - undernutrition, a lack of crucial micronutrients and obesity - is increasingly found in the same country, sometimes in the same neighborhood, and often in the same household," said Victor Aguayo, head of UNICEF's nutrition program. "A mother who is overweight or obese can have children who are stunted or wasted."
