Resumen
Descripción
In Guyana, one or more of the multiple forms of malnutrition remain significant public health concerns and a threat to human and national development. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), anaemia, and overweight/ obesity are the most common nutrition-related disorders. PEM primarily affects young children. Although there has been an overall declining trend in prevalence levels over the last 2-3 decades, survey data indicate no discernable improvements in nutritional status of children in the last 5 years
