Asia, countries in South Asia still have both the highest rates of malnutrition and the largest numbers of malnourished children. Indeed, the prevalence of malnutrition in India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (38–51%) is much higher than in sub-Saharan Africa (26%) [3]. In Mexico, the most recent national nutrition survey estimated that 1.8 million children under 5 years of age are malnourished [15].
