According to global nutrition report (GNR), there has been slight progress towards achieving global nutrition targets in Asia. The report said that “the global target for overweight, stunting, and wasting among children under 5 years of age have several countries on course to meet it, including exclusive breastfeeding among infants aged 0 to 5 months, which has ten countries on course, while low birth weight and diabetes among women each have three countries on course. However, not a single country in the region is on course to meet the targets for anaemia in women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years old), diabetes among men, obesity among men, and obesity among women. Twenty-seven countries in the region have insufficient data to comprehensively assess their progress towards these global targets.”
