商品簡介
Rapidly occurring global changes in food production, distribution, and intake manifest a downside: an increase in nutrition-related disorders in developing countries (sometimes, obesity side-by-side with malnutrition). Editors Caballero (international health, pediatrics, human nutrition: Johns Hopkins University) and Popkin (nutrition, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) present 13 contributions exploring various facets of these complex issues. They discuss the global context body size and productivity, demographic trends, and poverty, health, and globalization as well as biological factors, including the impact of early nutrition deprivation on later risk of disease, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some specific coverage of what's happening in China and in Brazil.
