Describe common nutritional problems of toddlers in developing countries and consequences that are likely to result

What will be an ideal response?

Answer:
- Kwashiorkor is a protein deficiency that makes children vulnerable to illness and death. Although the belly is large, it is a result of swelling and their hair is thin and brittle.
- These children are lethargic and irritable.
- Iodine deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. This leads to deficits in cognitive development. This is most common in Africa and S. Asia, and even though adding iodine to foods is simple and cheap (in the form of iodized salt, for example), many children still lack this micronutrient.
