Measures of child malnutrition are used to track development progress. Meanwhile, the number of children under 5 affected by overweight worldwide has increased from 33.3 million in 2000 to 38.9 million in 2020*. While the 2021 edition of the UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Group Joint Malnutrition Estimates shows that stunting prevalence has been declining since the year 2000, more than one in five – 149.2 million children under 5 –were stunted in 2020*, and 45.4 million suffered from wasting. We are still far from a world without malnutrition. Poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life can also lead to stunted growth, which is associated with impaired cognitive ability and reduced school and work performance. The interaction between undernutrition and infection can create a potentially lethal cycle of worsening illness and deteriorating nutritional status.
