A new research has suggested that malnutrition is sweeping the world, fuelled by obesity as well as starvation. The 2016 Global nutrition Report said 44 per cent of countries were now experiencing very serious levels of both under-nutrition and obesity.
It means one in three people suffers from malnutrition in some form, according to the study of 129 countries. Malnutrition has traditionally been associated with children who are starving, have stunted growth and are prone to infection.
