Abstract
Malnutrition is the underlying cause of more than 2.6 million child deaths each year. Globally significant numbers of people are affected by malnutrition(undernutrition). The Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) estimated that undernutrition affects approximately 789 million people in 2014-16.1,2 The prevalence of undernourshment and underweight among children under age five were primarily used internationally to measure and compare the burden of undernutrition.2
