Global Undernutrition in Children
These graphs examine the problem of undernourishment in five geographic regions with developing economies. According to the World Health Organization, undernutrition contributes to an estimated one-third of the approximately 11 million deaths per year of children under five years of age. Undernourished children lack strong immune systems and therefore succumb to respiratory infections, measles, malaria, and other diseases.
