DOI:10.1038/s43856-025-01276-w.png)
Abstract
En 中文
Malnutrition can severely compromise immune function, rendering populations more vulnerable to both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Here, we discuss food fortification and micronutrient supplementation programs that have been instrumental in mitigating malnutrition across Africa and in controlling disease spread, marking considerable advances in public health throughout the continent. Jaklenec, Yang et al. examine how malnutrition heightens disease susceptibility in Africa. They comment on the successes of food-fortification efforts to date and outline remaining barriers and future directions.
