Synopsis

This book considers two important international nutrition issues, provides a scientific evaluation, and proposes strategies for intervention at the community level.

Part II, Diet and Activity During Pregnancy and Lactation, examines data on the extent to which women in the developing world are known to reduce or otherwise alter their activities and diets as a result of childbearing.
