Nutritional Status of Children and Youth
Children and youth around the world are facing nutritional problems including undernutrition that makes children become thinner and shorter than the growth standards or overnutrituin that causes obesity or overweight in children, due to economic, social, environmental, belief and cultural differences. These problems can affect the development of children who are the nation's future, in terms of physical, intellectual, emotional and social. Therefore, the joint collabouration to mitigate and solve the malnutrition issues in children and youth is considered an urgent agenda which id crucial to driving the country forward.

children aged 6 months - 12 years were facing malnutrition
including both a nutritional deficiency and an excessive intake of essential nutrients.
20% of them were overweight or considered obese
due to eating habits and receiving inappropriate amount of nutrients.
While 60-70% of them consumed less essential nutrients than the body requires.
Some children might receive an adequate amount of food but experiened imbalance diet.
