Abstract
There are few studies of underweight in adolescents in Korea and other developed countries. According to the recent surveillance in Korea, prevalence of underweight in adolescents is lower than those in developing countries, and higher than those in developed countries in Northern Europe. This article reviews the problems, diagnosis, and nutritional support of underweight in adolescents. (Korean J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2011; 14(Suppl 1): S55∼S60)
