Abstract
Pediatric nutritional deficiencies are a major global health concern, affecting child development, immunity, and cognition. This

Strategies for prevention and intervention, including improved feeding practices, supplementation, and addressing food insecurity
and infectious diseases, are discussed. The critical role of maternal nutrition and the challenges posed by the double burden of
malnutrition and infectious diseases are also examined, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches.
