How can we tackle this triple burden of malnutrition? New collection & webinar
2025-03-04 09:30 - 10:30 UTC | Virtual
Adolescent girls across South Asia face an alarming state of health and nutrition from persistent undernutrition and anaemia alongside a rapid rise in overweight and obesity, warn experts in a The BMJ Collection. How can we tackle this triple burden of malnutrition?
In collaboration with the UNICEF regional office for South Asia (UNICEF ROSA) and Deakin University, The BMJ has published eight papers laying out the obstacles and opportunities for nourishing South Asia’s adolescent girls and recommended strategies to deal with them.
Themes include addressing harmful gender norms, rules and practices to improve nutritional outcomes for adolescent girls, strengthening legal measures to support access to nutritious foods and healthy food environments, and scaling up initiatives to reduce anaemia.
