Nutrition governance of LICs and MICs
Table 3 also shows the results for nutrition governance
stratified by country’s development level. A total of 36
countries had data on nutrition governance. Of them, 17
were LICs, of which half had weak nutrition governance.
By comparison, only five out of 19 MICs had weak nutrition
governance. Of all countries with strong nutrition
governance, 69.6% had a policy to address overweight
compared to only 38.5% of countries with weak nutrition
governance (p = 0.069) (Table 4). No significant association
was found for policies to address undernutrition.
