Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition significantly raises the risk of infant mortality and long-term health issues, primarily due to low household income in rural areas of Cameroon.
- A study involving 300 pupils found that around 66.33% came from impoverished families, with obesity rates higher among wealthier pupils (9.52%) compared to poorer ones (6.53%).
- The research highlights limitations in understanding malnutrition's epidemiology and suggests larger studies are needed for effective prevention and control strategies in rural communities.
