File name | Nutritional Surveillance |
File Description | The consequences of inadequate nutrition are well known and of wide concern within the health sector and elsewhere. At a certain degree of severity of malnutrition, children are faced with an increased risk of dying, almost always from concurrent infectious disease. There is some evidence that malnutrition decreases one's immunity and hence predisposes to disease. In more general terms, good health is impossible without good nutrition, so that nutrition is recognized as a prerequisite of health for all. Decisions that influence the nutritional conditions of populations may be made at several different levels of administration. These decisions may be in relation to (1) policies and programmes that can fundamentally affect people's living standards in the long term, (2) programmes that provide for more immediate alleviation of hunger and malnutrition, or (3) a number of intermediate possibilities. |
