Explanation:

Triple burden of malnutrition consists of the following:

• Undernutrition- It is subdivided into 2 parts

1. Stunting- : Children are defined as stunted if their height-for-age is below the WHO Child Growth Standards median. It is a clear sign that children in  a  country are not developing well.
2. Wasting- Low weight-for-height indicates in most cases with acute starvation and/or severe disease.

• Hidden hunger is a lack of vitamins and minerals which harms children and women. Iron deficiency reduces children’s ability to learn and iron deficiency anaemia increases women’s risk of death during or shortly after childbirth.
• Child  overweight  can  lead  to  early  onset  of  type-2  diabetes, stigmatization and depression, and is a strong predictor of adult obesity, with serious health and economic consequences.
