国际社会对营养不良和残疾之间的联系越来越感兴趣：两者都是主要的全球公共卫生问题，都是关键的人权问题，而且目前在全球卫生议程中都很突出。在这篇综述中，探讨了这两个领域之间的相互作用，并认为加强联系将带来重要的互惠互利和协同效应。在生命周期的许多时刻，营养不良可能导致或导致个人的身体、感官、智力或心理健康残疾。通过更密切的合作，这些问题可以转化为机遇：针对儿童和成人的营养服务和计划可以作为解决残疾问题的切入点，在某些情况下可以避免或减轻残疾；残疾计划可以改善其所服务的儿童和成人的营养。然而，要做到这一点，需要政治承诺和资源，以及更好的数据。
There is increasing international interest in the links between malnutrition and disability: both are major global public health problems, both are key human rights concerns, and both are currently prominent within the global health agenda. In this review, interactions between the two fields are explored and it is argued that strengthening links would lead to important mutual benefits and synergies. At numerous points throughout the life-cycle, malnutrition can cause or contribute to an individual’s physical, sensory, intellectual or mental health disability. By working more closely together, these problems can be transformed into opportunities: nutrition services and programmes for children and adults can act as entry points to address and, in some cases, avoid or mitigate disability; disability programmes can improve nutrition for the children and adults they serve. For this to happen, however, political commitment and resources are needed, as are better data.
