How does malnutrition impact an individual, especially those most vulnerable: infants, children, and women?
Malnutrition during pregnancy depletes the mother's maternal stores and increases risk of a LBW baby. Poor maternal nutrition status can increase risk of neonatal death. When a child is mildly underweight, risk of death increases 2.5 times. If a child is severely underweight the risk of death is even greater. Malnutrition seriously affects a child's growth and development. 24% of children under the age of 5 are estimated to have stunted growth.

A fixed non volatile oil C. Less characteristic of the oil and is easier to reproduce artificially (The middle note has a much longer life on the blotter than the top note, but is often less characteristic of the oil and is easier to reproduce artificially.)

In some instances, such as with patchouli, the base note will appear after 24 hours. The base note can last anywhere from five to 36 hours.
