The socio-economic aspects of malnutrition in Sicily.
Malnutrition clinical conditions in Sicily, Italy, are examined. Malnutrition today is a result of excess of eating, while immediately after the Second World War, it was a result of deficiency of eating. The main interest in this study is to examine the relationship between social and nutritional conditions in children who are a vulnerable part of the whole population. This is also confirmed by other data reported on this subject, in Sicily.
