why India is facing the double burden of Malnutrition Glue four points
Answers
Explanation:
Industrialization took place in the middle of the eighteenth century and the start of the nineteenth century, leading to a transformation in geographical areas, economic growth, and the abandonment of agrarian society. Since industrialization started, cities have continued to develop and have become the urbanized areas that we know today. Cities’ growth can be attributed to two phenomena; (1) the migration of rural populations to urban areas in a search for a better quality of life and employment opportunities, and (2) the expansion to areas surrounding cities (Nnebue et al. 2014).
Urbanization has been linked with economic and technological developments; with these advances, populations in rural and urban areas aspire for job opportunities, cultural diversity, technology,...
Malnutrition in India has always been synonymous with under-nutrition. Not anymore. Data from the latest round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) shows that obesity among adults is nearly as big a problem in the country as under-nutrition. Even as under-nutrition continues to remain extraordinarily high in the poorer parts of the country, obesity has reached endemic levels in some of the richer parts of the country, the survey of over 6 lakh households conducted in 2015-16 shows.
When the previous round of NFHS was conducted in 2005-06, the proportion of underweight men and women in the country was found to be nearly three times the proportion of overweight men and women, respectively. The latest survey shows that the proportion of overweight women in India at 20.7% is only 2 percentage points lower than the proportion of underweight women. The trend among men is similar, with nearly one in five men overweight today.
While the proportion of underweight adults has fallen over the past decade, the proportion of overweight adults has shot up sharply. Individuals who have a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 or more are considered overweight while those with a BMI less than 18.5 are considered underweight. Women seem to be affected more by both forms of malnutrition compared to men. More women than men are obese, and more women than men are underweight, the data shows.
