Globally, 800 million people are under-nourished, and around 2 billion are overweight/obese or have micronutrient deficiency. These populations are largely positioned in developing countries where disease burden is high and impacts health budgets and productivity. Similarly developed countries, cities and neighbourhoods are experiencing a greater emergence of vulnerable populations. This is in part explained by the change in the food production and manufacturing, the retraction in economic climates, the increase in food price, and in some regions reduced food availability and access.Vulnerable groups include but are not limited to migrant populations, Indigenous people, elderly, pregnant women, those with disability, homeless, young children and youth. Poor nutrition at significant periods of growth and development and during life impact long term health outcomes increasing non-communicable disease prevalence, health cost and reducing economic productivity.Biology, life sciencesbicsscself-esteemlunchenergy densityschool performancerefugeesdietary patternsconsumption of fruits and vegetablesfood pantryMalaysiavulnerable groupsvillage chickensSocial Cognitive Theorynutrition educationStudent Assistance Programlow-income undergraduate studentschildrenabdominal obesitylivestockself-efficacyemergency food assistancefood insecurityobesityknowledgeObesityrural populationsTanzanialow-income populationBMI-for-agein-depth interviewfruit and vegetablesmetabolic syndromemalnutritionpopular restaurantnutritionschool interventionrural childrendouble burden of malnutritionwomenco-designchallengesfat massadolescent healthwelfare hometrainingadiposity markersOrang Aslisub-Saharan Africacharitable food sectorfood literacyplace-basedfeeding practiceschild stuntingdietary qualitypublic healthnutrition securitysocioeconomicsundernutritionprimary health careHFIASresource-poor settingsfood assistancePalestineLebanontertiary educationinfant feedingrefugeeanimal-source foodpediatricsfood securitylow-incomebreastfeedingfood povertybody imageIndonesiaBiology, life sciencesLawlis Tanya1306130Devine AmandaScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346685803321Nutrition and Vulnerable Groups3028296UNINA
