The 7th National Nutrition Survey results are out. Released by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), the survey showed that the nutrition situation of Filipinos has not improved much from 2003/2005 levels.
There are more undernourished children and nutritionally at-risk pregnant and lactating women. The prevalence of adults with chronic energy deficiency, however, has declined.
Given the results of the 7th NNS, Nutrition, Health and Hunger-Mitigation measures will be directed on the highly at-risk groups such as the pregnant women, infants and young children. (DOH/PIA)
