The world has made progress in curbing infant mortality, stunted growth and other poverty-driven problems, while obesity, alcohol abuse and partner violence has risen, a major review of UN health goals said Wednesday. “Progress varied widely,” said The Lancet medical journal which published the assessment of 188 countries’ progress since 1990, measured against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Children being overweight “considerably worsened in the past 15 years,” the study authors wrote, whereas alcohol abuse “worsened slightly”.

The study, conducted by Abbott Laboratories’ nutrition division and the University of Illinois, noted one in three patients who arrive at a U.S.-hospital suffer from malnutrition. A further one-third become malnourished during their stay. Disease-associated malnutrition (DAM), which is linked with longer hospital stays, higher rates of readmission and increased mortality, is considered an invisible affliction as it occurs in both obese and underweight individuals.
