The nutritional problems of developing countries are conditioned by poverty, near exclusive reliance on plant sources of nutrients, and high rates of infections. Common deficiency diseases include protein-energy malnutrition, nutritional anemias, vitamin A deficiency, iodine deficiency, and possibly others. Population subgroups at particularly high risk are the children and women of poor families. Control of these nutritional diseases requires systematic diagnosis of the existing situation and appropriate intervention strategies such as targeted food and specific micronutrient supplementation, food fortification, nutrition education, and reductions in infections as well as general improvements in economic conditions and social equity.
发展中国家的营养问题受到贫困、几乎完全依赖植物性营养来源以及高感染率的制约。常见的营养缺乏病包括蛋白质 - 能量营养不良、营养性贫血、维生素A缺乏症、碘缺乏症，可能还包括其他病症。特别高危的人群亚组是贫困家庭的儿童和妇女。控制这些营养疾病需要对现状进行系统诊断，并采取适当的干预策略，如针对性的食物和特定微量营养素补充、食品强化、营养教育、减少感染以及全面改善经济状况和社会公平性。
