Malnutrition represents a global challenge that encompasses three dimensions simultaneously: undernourishment and food insecurity, through insufficient intake of dietary energy and protein; undernutrition or micronutrient deficiencies; and overnutrition, through excess intake of dietary energy, manifest in the number of overweight and obese people. These three dimensions are known as "the triple burden of malnutrition."

L'existence d'un «triple fardeau de la malnutrition», à savoir la concomitance dans un même pays voire au sein d'un même ménage de sous-alimentation, carences nutritionnelles et surconsommation, est aujourd'hui une préoccupation majeure dans les pays en transition.
