Malnutrition is a still major contributor to the Global Burden of Disease with shifts globally to nutrition-related chronic diseases. Here are the nutrition related rankings (page 2248).
Globally, diets low in fruit is the 5th contributor to the GBD followed by underweight in children (8th), iron deficiency (13th), and suboptimal breastfeeding (14th ). There are many other nutrition-related contributors related to poor intake of high-quality foods and vitamin A deficiency (29th) and zinc (31st).
In Africa, underweight in children is the first contributor to the GBD followed by iron deficiency (3rd) and suboptimal breastfeeding (4th). South Asia is a different story with underweight (4th), diets low in fruits (5th), iron deficiency (9th), and suboptimal breastfeeding (10th).

Access Campaign
The Access Campaign works to improve access to existing treatments and stimulating the development of newer and better medical tools that take into account the needs of people in poor countries. It pushes for continued improvements in medical practice. The campaign also supports efforts to reshape the way medical research and development is funded so that medical innovation serves those most in need and is not simply market-driven as at present. Current priorities include: nutrition, HIV/AIDS, TB, vaccines, malaria, access and innovation, neglected diseases.
