Factores de riesgo que inciden en la desnutrición crónica infantil en menores de 2 años

Abstract

Chronic undernutrition in children is a complication that affects thousands of children in all parts of the world, especially in low-income regions. It is characterized by stunted growth and development in children due to inadequate nutrient intake over a prolonged period. This type of undernutrition is commonly measured by the height-for-age index, where chronically undernourished children are significantly shorter than other children of the same age. In summary, chronic undernutrition in children is complicated and devastating and requires coordinated and sustained action at global, national and community levels to ensure the healthy growth and development of children.
