    Summary of findings:
    1. Nutrient Deficiency: Is a significant public health concern in the Philippines, with iron
    deficiency anemia being the most prevalent. Vitamin A deficiency is also widespread,
    particularly among children, impacting their vision and immune system. Calcium
    deficiency affects women and older adults, increasing their risk of osteoporosis and
    fractures. Zinc deficiency is prevalent, impacting growth, immunity, and cognitive
    development. While protein deficiency is less common, it can still affect vulnerable
    groups, particularly children in low-income households.

    2. Nutrient deficiencies: have a profound impact on health, leading to impaired growth


    and development, weakened immune systems, and increased susceptibility to infections.
    These deficiencies can also contribute to chronic diseases, reduced productivity, and
    increased healthcare costs. Addressing nutrient deficiencies is crucial for improving
    overall health and well-being, particularly among vulnerable populations.

    3. Preventing nutrient: deficiencies involves promoting dietary diversification, encouraging


    the consumption of nutrient-rich foods, and implementing fortification programs to add
    essential nutrients to staple foods. Treatment typically involves addressing the
    underlying cause of the deficiency, such as improving dietary intake or providing
    supplements. In some cases, medical interventions may be necessary to address
    complications arising from severe deficiencies.
