Almost 30% of adolescents worldwide are anaemic, approximately half due to iron deficiency. This #InternationalYouthDay, we are reflecting on the missed window of opportunity caused by #malnutrition.
After infancy, #adolescence is the most rapid period of growth with the highest nutritional needs, providing a second window of opportunity for catch-up growth and development.
Until recently, the #health and #nutrition of adolescents had been neglected in global and national investment, and policy and programming in developing countries.
