Chapters in this book bring together both theoretical and empirical studies that take into account human biological and environmental conditions to understand how ethnic diversity, culturally determined lifestyle and dietary habits influence biological variation of human growth and nutrition in nine LAC countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. The book is divided into three sections. Chapters in the first section analyze nutritional and epidemiological aspects of child growth in the region. Articles in the second section focus on methods to evaluate human growth, development, and maturation. Finally, the third section brings together a series of studies representing different LAC countries, analyzing biocultural impacts on child growth and nutrition. By bringing together studies about the relationship between human biology, cultural diversity, nutrition and health in a region with huge environmental challenges, this volume addresses many of the challenges to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Chapters in this volume present and discuss data on the effects of malnutrition on children's and adolescent's health and development, such as chronic undernutrition or stunting (growth deficit) and excess weight (overweight and obesity) as the risk factors for child morbidity and mortality m due to non-communicable diseases. Human Growth and Nutrition in Latin American and Caribbean Countries will be a valuable resource for both students and researchers in different disciplines dedicated to the interdisciplinary research on the intersection between human biology, cultural diversity, nutrition and health. It will also be a useful source of information for both health professionals and policy makers developing and implementing interventions and public policies to achieve UNs SDGs 2 and 3, particularly in the LAC regions. . 001471913 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLInk, viewed July 27, 2023). 001471913 650_0 $$aHuman ecology$$zLatin America. 001471913 650_0 $$aHuman growth$$zLatin America. 001471913 650_0 $$aNutrition$$zLatin America. 001471913 650_0 $$aHuman ecology$$zCaribbean Area. 001471913 650_0 $$aHuman growth$$zCaribbean Area. 001471913 650_0 $$aNutrition$$zCaribbean Area. 001471913 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001471913 7001_ $$aBanik, Sudip Datta. 001471913 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303127847X$$z9783031278471$$w(OCoLC)1369518409 001471913 852__ $$bebk 001471913 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-27848-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001471913 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1471913$$pGLOBAL_SET 001471913 980__ $$aBIB 001471913 980__ $$aEBOOK 001471913 982__ $$aEbook 001471913 983__ $$aOnline 001471913 994__ $$a92$$bISE
