Dual burden of individual malnutrition in children 1–4 years: Findings from the Colombian nutritional health survey ENSIN 2015
Authors' conclusion
Children with overweight or obesity had a high likelihood of presenting micronutrients deficiencies or stunting. Ethnicity, male sex and country region of residence were variables associated with overall DBIM or specific DBIM.
