Maternal and Child Nutrition - The Lancet Series 2013

The Lancet, published June 6, 2013

"Nutrition is crucial to both individual and national development. The
evidence in this Series furthers the evidence base that good nutrition is a
fundamental driver of a wide range of developmental goals. The post-2015
sustainable development agenda must put addressing all forms of
malnutrition at the top of its goals".

Executive summary
Maternal and child undernutrition was the subject of a Series of papers in
The Lancet in 2008. Five years after the initial series, we re-evaluate the
problems of maternal and child undernutrition and also examine the growing
problems of overweight and obesity for women and children, and their
consequences in low-income and middle-income countries. Many of these
countries are said to have the double burden of malnutrition: continued
stunting of growth and deficiencies of essential nutrients along with the
emerging issue of obesity. We also assess national progress in nutrition
programmes and international efforts toward previous recommendations.
