Abstract
https://pghn.org Malnutrition is a worldwide health concern. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, lowincome and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) faced severe challenges in ensuring that all children had access to adequate nutrition. The situation worsened during the pandemic. The Global Burden of Disease Study classifies malnutrition based on four variables: mortality rates based on child growth failure, years lived with disability based on iron status, vitamin A deficiencies, and high body mass index (BMI) [1]. Globally, 15% of children were estimated to be malnourished due to the pandemic.
