Title: Indicators for monitoring hunger at global and subnational levels. Author: Sibrián R. Journal: Nutr Rev; 2009 May; 67 Suppl 1():S17-20. PubMed ID: 19453671. Abstract: This paper presents three different hunger indicators and outlines how they can be used to assess the extent of food insecurity in population groups globally and within countries at community, regional, or other subnational levels. Hunger refers to the supply, access, consumption, and intake of food at levels that are insufficient to fulfill human requirements. If the requirements are not met through the adequate absorption and use of essential nutrients, food deprivation and undernutrition occur.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
