Opis

Micronutrient malnutrition is extensive, presents distressing threats to health, education, economic growth especially in less developed countries (UNICEF, 2005). It affects growth, immunity; functional capacity; pregnancy, vision, learning and cognitive capability and causes variety of diseases and mortality. The at-risk populations are poor people. The most widespread of them are deficiencies of vitamin A, iron, folate, iodine, and zinc however, many other micronutrient disorders have also been found incidental though, in a low frequency. Deficiency of one particular micronutrient infrequently happens in isolation; more often, compound micronutrient deficiencies exist together frequently which may be coupled with protein or energy malnutrition (Muthayya et al., 2013).
