Extent of Malnourishment Among the Rural Poor

Jeffrey Shotland

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1989, vol. 05, issue 3

Abstract: The rural poor experience a broad array of nutritional deficiencies. They tend especially to eat too little of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A and C. The rural poor consumed less of these foods than the urban poor, indicating a "rural effect," which exacerbates the nutritional problems of all the poor.
