Nutritional Status and Health Challenges Among Schoolchildren in Nepal’s Solukhumbu Valley
The findings reveal a high burden of undernutrition and anemia among children in Solukhumbu, linked to poor diet and structural vulnerability. Urgent, community-based interventions-including nutrition education, agricultural diversification, and improved healthcare access-are needed. Longitudinal monitoring is essential to track progress and design sustainable, multisectoral solutions.
