This third edition reviews the epidemiology, policies, programs and
outcome indicators that are used to determine improvements in nutrition
and health that lead to development. This greatly expanded third edition
provides policy makers, nutritionists, students, scientists, and
professionals with the most recent and up-to-date knowledge regarding
major health and nutritional problems in developing countries. Policies
and programs that address the social and economic determinants of
nutrition and health are now gaining in importance as methods to improve
the status of the most vulnerable people in the world. This volume
provides the most current research and strategies so that policy makers,
program managers, researchers and students have knowledge and resources
that they can use to advance methods for improving the public's health
and the development of nations. The third edition of Nutrition and
Health in Developing Countries takes on a new context where the word
"developing" is now a verb and not an adjective.
