DOST, in a statement issued Tuesday, April 27, confirmed this after the information was revealed during Online Technology Forum for Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) by DOST-FNRI.
Lea B. Landicho, a science research analyst at DOST-FNRI, explained that the first 1,000 days of a child’s life – which begins in pregnancy – is “critical because the damage is irreversible if the child does not get proper nutrition during this period.”
DOST-FNRI noted that the trends in the prevalence of malnutrition among children less than two years old or 0-23 months in the Philippines show a decline in four nutrition parameters between 2015 to 2019: underweight (from 17.2 to 13.9); stunting (25.7 to 21.9); wasting (10.2 to 7.0); and overweight (4.2 to 2.6). Despite the decline, however, underweight and stunting are still prevalent in most parts of Mindanao.
