The study objectives were to map the different stages of the nutrition transition for each department within Peru, and to determine the nutrition policy needs for each geographic area based on their current stage in the nutrition transition. Results show that most of the country is suffering from a double-burden of malnutrition, with high rates of stunting among children less than 5 years of age and high rates of overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age. Currently, Peru has only country-wide nutrition policies, administered by the Ministry of Health, that are primarily focused on stunting prevention. This study argues for the need to have decentralized nutrition policies that vary according to what type of malnutrition is being experienced in each geographic area.
研究目的是为秘鲁的每个部门绘制营养转型的不同阶段，并根据营养转型的当前阶段确定每个地理区域的营养政策需求。结果表明，该国大部分地区都遭受着双重营养负担的困扰，5 岁以下儿童发育迟缓率高，育龄妇女超重和肥胖率高。目前，秘鲁只有由卫生部管理的全国性营养政策，主要侧重于预防发育迟缓。本研究认为有必要制定分散的营养政策，根据每个地理区域所经历的营养不良类型进行调整。
