Definition(s)

  • Currently, over 200 million children are considered to be undernourished; many of them first experience nutrient deprivation in utero and were born small compared to healthy children. Maternal diet, along with a host of other physical and environmental factors, is the primary source of energy that promotes fetal growth.
