Abstract
Undernutrition is a consequence of an unbalance between supply of nutrients/energy and the demand of the body to ensure its functions and growth. It has deleterious effects on the development of organs and growth, generating stunting and underweight in childhood. Globally, about 159 million children (<5 years of age) have stunting, and more than 50 million are underweight.
