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)
