Excited to attend this series and learn about innovative approaches to address the double burden of malnutrition!

[Fogarty at NIH @Fogarty_NIH]

What factors contribute to the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) -the coexistence of undernutrition & obesity? Join #NICHD Oct 19-20 to discuss behavior changes, intervention programs, & more. Introductory remarks by #Fogarty director Roger Glass: https://t.co/Hxn7baYMM2

@Filiphenome Congrats! Looking forward to the results.

As food prices climb, the price of life-saving RUTF has sharply increased. More children are developing acute wasting- one child per minute, into severe malnutrition https://t.co/9lUeiBc2ZV
