Infants and children with disabilities suffer the same ill-effects of undernutrition as those without: poorer health outcomes; missing or delayed developmental milestones; avoidable secondary impairments; and, in extreme circumstances, premature death. In some cases, undernutrition is a direct consequence of specific physical anomalies or medical problems (eg, infants with a cleft palate might not be able to breastfeed effectively; children with cystic fibrosis cannot effectively absorb or use the nutrients they do get). In Bulgaria, the London-based non-governmental organisation Lumos reported substantial malnutrition in 250 institutionalised children with disabilities. The issue was not a shortage of food, but a shortage of time—insufficient staffing and competing priorities meant that caretakers were unable to devote more than 2 min per meal per child to help feed children with disabilities with eating and drinking difficulties.17LumosLumos' pioneering training projects.http://wearelumos.org/stories/lumos-pioneering-training-programmesDate: 2012Google ScholarPoor knowledge among caretakers of how to work with disability-related disorders could also be an issue. For example, poor knowledge of how to correctly position a child with severe cerebral palsy could lead to inadequate feeding; at worst, these efforts can cause aspiration and even death. Social and cultural beliefs and practices can lead to or exacerbate an already fragile nutritional state. For example, the choice not to breastfeed neonates with visible disabilities is a form of traditional infanticide practised in some communities.18UNICEFUN Secretary General's report on violence against children: findings and recommendations. UNICEF, New York2006Google Scholar In other communities, stigma and discrimination mean that a child or adult with a disability is denied food or offered less food than other household members.18UNICEFUN Secretary General's report on violence against children: findings and recommendations. UNICEF, New York2006Google Scholar Some disabilities might increase nutritional needs (eg, nutritional supplementation is associated with reduced pressure sores after stroke).19Geeganage C Beavan J Ellender S Bath PM Interventions for dysphagia and nutritional support in acute and subacute stroke.Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2012; 10 (CD000323.)PubMed Google ScholarLittle research has been done of the effects of poor nutrition on children with pre-existing disabilities in the context of poverty and malnutrition; individuals often assume that these children do not grow and thrive because of their disability. However, in some cases, what is assumed to be disability-associated ill-health and wasting might in fact be connected with feeding problems or the withholding of adequate nutrition, particularly in households and alternative care settings with scarce resources when it is believed a child with a disability will not live to adulthood.In view of the strong links between nutrition, disability, poverty and human rights, awareness of and stronger links between nutrition and disability issues is urgently needed at all levels. A so-called twin track approach is needed whereby nutrition services include (mainstream) disability and also provide disability-specific services, while disability programmes ensure that specific nutrition-focused support is provided when needed.20Department for International Development (DFIF)Disablity and Poverty. DFID, London, UK2000Google Scholar Finally, more and better data are needed. The forthcoming International Classification of Diseases 11th revision is a unique and timely opportunity to address present gaps. Stronger evidence and understanding of the interactions and associations between nutrition and disability is key to unlock future policymaking and funding in this too often neglected intersection of crucial global health concerns.We declare that we have no conflicts of interest.
