Malnutrition common in C. Java

SEMARANG, Central Java: A nutrition expert from Diponegoro
University says that despite an adequate food stock, malnutrition
is still prevalent among low-income people in the province.

Doctor Bambang Dwiloka said here yesterday that most of the
low-income people, including workers, pregnant women and children
under five, consume less than the required amounts of protein,
Vitamin A and iodine.

He said the government could correct the situation through an
equal distribution of food supplies. (har)
