What are three main causes of malnutrition in Nepal? - 07-12-2006, 08:08 AM

I was going through the paediatrics and couldn't get the answer for three main causes of malnutrition in Nepal.

Then I found this link... Malnutrition is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among children in the developing countries, specifically in the rural areas. The principal causes of malnutrition are poverty, illiteracy, and a lack of education on the importance of a balanced diet. As a result, children are deprived of essential nutrients.

You can also read Child nutrition in Nepal or download the PDF document.

If anyone of you have any update please let me know.
