Abstract
The nutritional status of children under 5 years of age has a definite impact on subsequent health outcomes, particularly child mortality. Prevailing information on global health indicates that among the 556 million children under 5 in the low-income countries, 178 million (i.e., 32 %) are stunted, 121 million (20 %) are underweight, and 55 million (10 %) are wasted [1].
