Malnutrition is a global issue but its distribution varies. Low and middle-income countries face a higher burden of undernutrition, especially in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Conversely, overnutrition is more prevalent in high-income countries but is also rising in urban areas of developing nations. The double burden of malnutrition—simultaneous presence of undernutrition and overnutrition—is increasingly observed in many countries.
