The Global Nutrition Report calls attention to the nutrition of vulnerable groups.

Good nutrition helps individuals resist new coronary viruses, and nutritional resilience is a key part of society's resistance to outbreaks and other external shocks. The Global Nutrition Report 2020 calls for policies that promote equity and integrate nutrition into food and health systems with strong financial and institutional support.
report, the report notes that inequality is a cause of malnutrition, including malnutrition and overweight, obesity and other chronic diet-related diseases. Inequality in food and health systems exacerbates the inequality of nutritional improvement outcomes, which in turn creates a vicious circle. The report identifies the important role of promoting equity in ending all forms of malnutrition and, combining the best available data, in-depth analysis and evidence-based expert advice, identifies key actions to achieve nutritional equity.
fact, the report was written before the New Crown pneumonia outbreak swept the world, but the focus on nutrition for vulnerable groups highlighted in the report is important in responding to this global outbreak.
existing food systems, health systems are not treating each of us fairly, leading to difficult lives for vulnerable groups such as the poor, women and children, those living in civil war, ethnic minorities, etc. Existing crisis response models ignore the serious inequalities that exist in countries and populations, leave the interests of these groups unserted and more affected by outbreaks and containment measures. The new coronary virus is not "fairly affected" by everyone, where malnourished people have weaker immune systems and may be at greater risk. Poor metabolism, including obesity and diabetes, may increase the risk of re-coronary viruses and increase the risk of death.
