Abstract

This paper aims to assess the impact that the impoverishment process has had on IPD health dynamics and micronutrient-related morbidity via the changes which have occurred in food consumption in terms of average intake, its distribution and the quality of diets.The paper offers a description of the impoverishment process, the determinants of poverty (mainly income distribution) and the groups most affected (children, the unemployed and single-parent families).The paper then provides an analysis of the impact of the impoverishment process on the consumption of food and of nutrients like K-calor
