      abstract = {In 2017 in Lao PDR, 33% of children under age 5 suffered  from chronic malnutrition (stunting), 9% suffered from  acute malnutrition (wasting), 40% of pregnant women were  anemic. Obesity and noncommunicable diseases have  significantly increased since 2005, evidencing another  concerning burden of malnutrition. When energy intake does  not meet or exceeds an individual's energy needs, body  composition can put an individual at greater risk for  health problems. Malnutrition hinders physical and  cognitive development, impairs sensory organ function and  immune function, and increases susceptibility to infectious  disease and its consequences. As a result, malnutrition is  the top risk factor for death and disability in Lao PDR.  Yet, the risk for and rates of malnutrition in the hospital  setting in Lao PDR have not been researched or described in  the literature.},
