dc.description.abstractA major threat to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage continues to be malnutrition [1,2]. The term “malnutrition” encompasses both under- and over-nutrition, both of which coexist and interact, especially in low-tomedium- income countries (LMICs) [3]. As a result, the term DBM has been coined [4] to describe this phenomenon, and this is further described as a “malnutrition syndemic” [5] if malnutrition includes micronutrient deficiencies. Research has implicated DBM and syndemic malnutrition in the development of major metabolic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer [6]. According to the WHO [7], at a global level, 7 of the 10 leading causes of death in 2019 were metabolic diseases.en_US
