)
T or F: Nutrition is central in all aspects of health and True
issues can affect all countries, no matter their
development level
SDG 2 -Zero hunger
-End all forms of malnutrition
-2x agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers,
especially for women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists, and fishers
-Ensure sustainable food production systems
-Implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity/production
-Maintain agricultural genetic diversity
-Increase investment in rural infrastructure, agricultural research, and extension
services
-Correct/Prevent trade restrictions/distortions in world agricultural markets
-Adopt measures to endure proper functioning of food commodity markets
T or F: Less than 700M people are undernourished False - 713-757M are undernourished
Global Outlook -Achieve 40% reduction in stunted children under 5
-Achieve 50% reduction of anaemia in women of repro. age
-Achieve 30% reduction in low birth weight
-Ensure no increase in childhood obesity
-Increase rate of exclusive breastfeeding by ~50%
-Reduce/Maintain childhood wasting to <5%
Hunger Sensation referring to lack of food w/in one's stomach
Undernourishment Describe status of people whose food intake does not include enough calories to
meet min. psych needs for active life
Malnutrition "Badly nourished", but is more a measure of physical measurements of the body
affected by lack of food or proper nutrition
Wasting Indicator of acute malnutrition that reflects a recent and severe process that has
led to substantial weight loss
Famine Widespread scarcity of food caused by several factors including crop failure,
population imbalance, or gov't policies
T or F: Famine is usually accompanied by regional True
malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased
mortality
, Hunger - Three Criteria -~20% of households face extreme food shortages w/ limited ability to cope
-Prevalence of global acute malnutrition must exceed 30%
-Death rates must exceed 2/10000 per day
Famine - Phase 1 (Minimal) More than 4/5 households able to meet essential food and nonfood needs w/out
engaging in atypical, unsustainable strategies to access food and income
Famine - Phase 2 (Stressed) 1/5+ households have minimally adequate food consumption but are unable to
afford some essential nonfood expenditures w/out irreversible coping strategies
Famine - Phase 3 (Crisis) 1/5+ households have food consumption gaps w/high or above average
malnutrition or are marginally able to meed min. food needs only while depleting
livelihood assets
Famine - Phase 4 (Emergency) 1/5+ have large food consumption gaps resulting in high acute malnutrition and
excess mortality or extreme loss of livelihood assets leading to gaps in short term
Famine - Phase 5 (Famine) 1/5+ have extreme lack of food/basic needs where starvation, death, and
destitution are evident
Undernutrition - UNICEF Outcome of insufficient food intake and not having right balance of nutrients
required for proper bodily function
Undernutrition - Metrics -Being underweight for one's age
-Too short for one's age
-Too thin for one's age
-Deficient in micronutrients like vitamins and minerals
Undernutrition - Causes -Primary from inadequate food intake
-Secondary caused by underlying disease
-Indirect caused by socioeconomic factors
T or F: Undernutrition weakens immunity and causes True
patients to die from infectious diseases a nourished
person wouldn't have, not the undernutrition itself
T or F: Undernutrition does not limit personal potential or False - It does
sustain poverty
Overnutrition -Overweight/(Morbid) Obesity
-Epidemic in developed nations, especially in poor and rural areas
-Associated w/ lack of exercise and poor diet
-Lack of necessary micronutrients leading to stunting w/ excess fat
-Exponential growth of obesity prevalence in middle-/high-income nations
-Major risk factor for coronary artery disease
Nutritional Transition When under- and overnutrition coexist in the same country causing more
problems
