Malnutrition In Numbers:
Graph #1
This graph shows the percentage of the regions and sub-regions of underweight in general. We can see that the country who suffered the most during the 1990`s was Asia; the number of people suffering from underweight was 32, 9%. Ten years later in 2000 the number decreased to 25, 9%. Although this number decreased, the continent of Asia doesn’t include Japan. Another part of the continent that had a great percentage of malnutrition was he eastern part of Africa with 27, 2%; although in 2010 the number decreased to 19, 6%. We can see that the developed countries in the year 1990, the number was pretty low with 1, 5% but in 2010 this percentage increased to 2, 3%. Surprisingly, Latin America and the Caribbean in the 1990 the percentage number was 7, 7% and in 2010 it reduced to 3, 5%.

In this graph we can find the comparison on overweight between different countries. The country that had the highest percentage of people suffering from overweight was the developed countries with 7.4%. The south-eastern part of Asia was the region that had the lowest percentage with 1.8% which increased to 5.8% in the year 2010. In 2010 the region that had the highest percentage was the southern part of Africa with 15.6%. The south-central part of Asia was the one that had the lowest percentage with 3.0%. In the year 2015, the southern part of Africa will be the highest overweighed region with 19.4% and the lowest will be the south-central part of Asia with 3.3%. Latin America & the Caribbean in 1990 was a region that was inside the average with 6.5% and in the year 2010, increased to 7.3%.
The developed countries were the ones that increased amazingly from 7.% in the year 1990 up to 14.1% in the year 2010 and it will increased approximately to 16.4 in the year 2015. Oceania started the graph with just 2.6% in 1990 and increased to 3.6% in the year 2010. It is expected to increase to 3.9% in the year 2015. Asia in 1990 was a region that had a percentage of 3.7%, but unfortunately increased to 4.6% in 2010. Specialists think that by 2015 it will increase to 5.2%. In the year 1990, Africa was a region that had a low percentage of overweight, it was only 4.2%, but in 2010 it increased to 7.1% and it will keep increasing to 8.2% in the year 2015.
