营养不良和微量营养素缺乏大大加重了全球疾病负担。由于拥挤和卫生条件不佳，贫困社区的营养不良率很高，感染传染病的机会增加。由于资源有限、文化影响和生物脆弱性，育龄妇女和儿童遭受毁灭性的健康后果。营养不良和传染病是一种有害的协同作用：营养不良降低了抵抗疾病和疾病的免疫能力，耗尽并剥夺了身体的必要营养。营养不良和传染病进一步加剧了贫穷，因为它们失去了工资，增加了医疗保健费用，而且--最隐蔽地--损害了智力发展，这可能会大大降低收入潜力。卫生专家最近认识到，早期营养不良和婴儿喂养不足对肥胖和包括糖尿病和心血管疾病在内的慢性疾病的长期影响。本章概述了幼儿营养不良和维生素A、铁、锌和碘缺乏的问题，以及目前预防和治疗这些问题的方案努力。(节选)
Undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies contribute substantially to the global burden of disease. Impoverished communities experience high rates of undernutrition and increased exposure to infectious diseases caused by crowding and inadequate sanitation. Women of reproductive age and children experience devastating health consequences as a result of limited resources cultural influences and biological vulnerabilities. Undernutrition and infectious diseases exist in a baleful synergy: undernutrition reduces immunological capacity to defend against diseases and diseases deplete and deprive the body of essential nutrients. Undernutrition and infectious diseases further exacerbate poverty through lost wages increased health care costs and - most insidiously - impaired intellectual development that can significantly reduce earning potential. Health experts have recently recognized the long-term effects of early undernutrition and inadequate infant feeding for obesity and chronic diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This chapter summarizes the problems of undernutrition and vitamin A iron zinc and iodine deficiencies in young children and current programmatic efforts to prevent and treat them. (excerpt)
