Dynamics of the double burden of malnutrition and the changing nutrition reality
Open accessAbstract
The double burden of malnutrition (DBM), defined as the simultaneous manifestation of both undernutrition and overweight/obesity, affects most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper describes the dynamics of DBM in LMICs and how it differs by socioeconomic level. The paper shows that DBM has increased in the poorest LMICs, mainly due to overweight/obesity increases. Indonesia is the largest country experiencing severe levels of the DBM, but many other Asian and sub-Saharan African countries also face this problem. We also discuss that overweight increases are mainly due to rapid changes in the food system, particularly the availability of cheap ultra-processed food and beverages in LMICs while there are major reductions in physical activity at work, transportation, home and even leisure related to introductions of activity-saving technologies. Understanding that the lowest income LMICs face severe levels of DBM and that the major direct cause is rapid increases in overweight allows identifying selected critical drivers and possible options for addressing DBM at all levels.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
