Description
An adequate, nutritious diet is a necessity at all stages of life. Inadequate diets can impair intellectual performance and have been linked to more frequent school absence and poorer educational achievement in children. Nutrition also plays a significant role in causing or preventing a number of illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease, some cancers, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and anemia.
At least two factors influence the affordability of food and the dietary choices of families – the cost of food and family income. The inability to afford food is a major factor in food insecurity, which has a spectrum of effects including anxiety over food sufficiency or food shortages, reduced quality or desirability of diet, disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake. This dataset covers the the data from the year 2006 to 2010, “Indicator ID” that has been used is “757” (Food affordability for female-headed household with children under 18 years).
