Maharashtra develops tool to measure double burden of malnutrition
Original: One child, many nutrition risks: Maharashtra develops tool to measure double burden of malnutrition
Maharashtra has developed a tool to assess the double burden of malnutrition, where a single child can face multiple nutrition risks at once, such as undernutrition alongside overweight or micronutrient deficiency. The measure is intended to give health officials a clearer picture of malnutrition patterns across the state and help target nutrition programmes more effectively, reflecting growing concern in India about overlapping forms of malnutrition.
Why now: Malnutrition remains a major public health concern in India, and a new state-level measurement tool is relevant to policy and child health discussions.
