| dc.description.abstract | Over three-billion people worldwide are afflicted with micronutrient malnutrition, caused largely by a dietary deficiency of vitamins and minerals. Zinc deficiency is endemic amongst developing countries, and Ethiopia is no exception. Zinc deficiency triggers many health problems in children, many of which can become chronic, such as weight loss, stunted growth, weakened resistance to infections, and mortality. | en_ZA |
