One-third of world's young children undernourished or overweight
全球三分之一的儿童营养不良或过胖
One-third of the world's nearly 700 million children under five years old are undernourished or overweight and face lifelong health problems as a consequence, according to a United Nations' assessment of childhood nutrition released on Tuesday.
联合国于周二发布的儿童营养评估报告显示:全球近7亿的5岁以下儿童中,三分之一的儿童营养不良或超重,且因此面临终身健康问题。
"If children eat poorly, they live poorly," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore, unveiling the agency's first State of the World's Children report since 1999. "We are losing ground in the fight for healthy diets."
“如果孩子们吃的不好,他们生活的也不好,”联合国儿童基金会执行主任亨利埃塔·福尔(Henrietta Fore)表示,这是该基金会自1999年以来首次发表的《世界儿童状况报告》。“在争取健康饮食的战役中,我们正走着下坡路。”
Problems that once existed at opposite ends of the wealth spectrum have today converged in poor and middle-income countries, the report showed. Despite a nearly 40 percent drop in stunted growth in poor countries from 1990 to 2017, 149 million children age four or younger are today still too short for their age, a clinical condition that impairs both brain and body development.
