Hunger and malnutrition are the plight of millions of people,
especially in developing countries. This study argues that the lack
of a comprehensive measure for nutrition and food security has
impeded progress towards eradicating hunger and undernutrition. The
author seeks to fill this gap by designing an international
Nutrition Index (NI). Using this NI, the study ranks 106 countries
and analyses patterns and trends in their nutrition situation. The
correlations between the NI and other international indicators show
its ability to reflect micronutrient deficiencies as well as its
sensitivity to poverty and inequality. Multivariate regressions
reveal that the NI tends to improve with economic development and
the amelioration of health services, whereas warfare has
detrimental effects.
