(Nutrition/Malnutrition)
The
public health topic that I chose is (Nutrition/Malnutrition). I chose this
topic because it has a major impact on children and how they develop mentally,
physically, and emotionally. We need food and water for our body to function.
Children who are malnourished have problems with their weight and height. Their
weight is known for their age and their height is shorter for their age.
Malnourished children are more than likely to contract some kind of illnesses
and diseases due to their poor immune system as a result of malnourishment.
Also, by being malnourished these children might have some learning problem
which will affect their academic performance. Here are some children in the
families affected by malnourishment due to the drought crisis in Wajir, Kenya.
