I'm grateful for the work @nowastedlives are doing to raise awareness around #nutrition and related issues such as #stunting. They have helpfully produced answers to frequently asked questions - you can access it here.

Recent systematic reviews demonstrate that #relapse to severe #wasting after receiving treatment may be a significant problem, but there is strong variation in definitions, measurement, and admission and discharge criteria.

#Didyouknow?

Acute# malnutrition is an umbrella term that includes #wasting & more complicated cases including bilateral pitting #oedema, persistent diarrhea, high fever, severe dehydration, vomiting, no appetite, and convulsions.

Caretakers across the globe are trained to identify early signs of malnutrition by using the MUAC tape to reach more children. Find out more on the new Family MUAC page https://t.co/Z7KWhpUSSS.

How does it relate to #NoWastedLives' research priorities? https://t.co/LU547Ylg5T

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Maternal & child undernutrition remains a major health concern—the last decade saw little progress despite proven interventions & recent gains may be offset by #COVID19. A follow-up #LancetNutrition Series calls for global recommitment.

#NoWastedLives Coalition member @acfusa is bringing malnutrition treatment closer to families:

Parents learn how to detect signs of malnutrition in their children & community health workers are trained to treat children with wasting in their communities: https://t.co/MhpIX5Xmpw

[No Wasted Lives @nowastedlives]

Reviews of managing dehydration in severely wasted #children with #diarrhoea suggest that guidelines for rehydration are inappropriate and potentially harmful.

#MUAC should be used as the primary tool for the detection, diagnosis & discharge of acute malnutrition in children 6-59 months of age in the community.

This is the recommendation by our technical advisory group CORTASAM. Read in full here: https://t.co/VyCNMpe84y

Appropriate entry and discharge criteria for treatment of acute #malnutrition can help us reach more #children and ensure optimum outcomes. #LeaveNoOneBehind #SDGs

[No Wasted Lives @nowastedlives]

Before #COVID19, 14.3M children were suffering with severe acute #malnutrition globally. @UN experts have estimated that an additional 6.7M could suffer from #wasting due to the #pandemic.

Why should #wasting be a development priority?

Children threatened & affected by wasting are up to 11x more likely to die than well-nourished children.
