Description
In Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries, a team of leading public health and infectious disease experts, epidemiologists, and clinical nutritionists break new ground by reviewing the major health problems of these countries and detailing the role that role that poor nutrition plays in their etiology. In their treatment of the epidemiology, prevention, and control of these health problems, the contributors examine a variety of such pressing medical problems as maternal mortality, low birth weight, infant mortality, and child growth and development, as well as the most significant associated diseases (measles, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea, and respiratory disease). Innovative and interdisciplinary, Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries synthesizes the latest knowledge concerning the major infectious disease and nutritional problems of developing countries and demonstrates the fundamental importance of addressing the problems of malnutrition and "hidden hunger" (vitamin and mineral deficiencies) needed to resolve those all too widespread health problems. - from Amzon
