Malnutrition is sweeping the world, fuelled by obesity as well as starvation, new research has suggested.The 2016 Global Nutrition Report said 44% of countries were now experiencing “very serious levels” of both under-nutrition and obesity.
It means one in three people suffers from malnutrition in some form, according to the study of 129 countries.
Being malnourished is “the new normal”, the report’s authors said.
Malnutrition has traditionally been associated with children who are starving, have stunted growth and are prone to infection.
