Resum
[eng] Hidden hunger is a form of malnutrition that refers to micronutrient deficiencies. This thesis reviews the determinants of hidden hunger and its consequences in health and economic development, its prevalence globally and in Spain particularly and researches available solutions and progress done towards its eradication in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025). A search of different databases was performed to select relevant reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the topic and several international organizations’ publications were consulted. While the prevalence of hidden hunger is alarmingly high in low and middle income countries, deficiency in some key vitamins and minerals happens in high-income countries. Solutions to hidden hunger include supplementation, food fortification, biofortification and nutrition and food-systems approaches. Although some advances have been made in recent decades, hidden hunger continues to be a global public health challenge that requires a multi-sectoral approach in order to end malnutrition in all its forms. The present thesis might be of interest to international and national policy-makers, governments, health and nutrition workers, stakeholders and the general population in order to take further action in tackling hidden hunger.
