Abstract:

The current context of intense social, economic and political transformations contributed to changes to population health profile and generated discussions about their impact on the reorganization of society. Currently, the increase in non-communicable illnesses and diseases raises major concerns about the paradox of malnutrition and obesity. Based on in-depth reading and interpretation of texts, documents and databases, this article discusses issues related to nutrition, considering the dimensions of shortages and excesses, its evolution over time, and the connection with the new epidemiological pattern. We begin with the conceptual characterization, historicity and anthropological interface of the guiding theme. We describe the prevalence, distribution and secular trend of malnutrition and temporal relations with the new epidemiological pattern in Brazil in a context of development and inequalities. Finally, we bring a reflection about (mal)nutrition in post-modernity, the new interests at stake in the health/disease process, as well as international experience and partnership strategies for overcoming these problems. We conclude showing some advances and current challenges due to the complexity and speed of contemporary changes.
