Consumer needs • Health &Nutrition • Hygiene • Education
Malnutrition • Protein-energy malnutrition affects 27 % of the children (every fourth child world-wide) • Half of all child deaths – 5 MM/year • 16% of total disease burden would be resolved with resolution of malnutrition • Micronutrient deficiency or “hidden hunger” (deficiencies of iodine, Vit A and iron) contribute to brain damage, blindness, mental retardation, growth-stunting, learning disabilities and low work capacity
Hygiene • Of the 5.1 billion people in non-industrialized countries, 1.3 billion people do not have access to safe water. Approximately 3.1 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation. • Seven percent (7%) of all deaths and diseases are due to lack of adequate water, sanitation and hygiene. Approximately 3.6 million children die from water-related diseases each year.
Education • improvements have been obtained in education. Primary school enrollment has increased significantly and adult literacy rose from 47% in1970 to 70% today. The technological advances in communication and availability of information via the Internet will no doubt contribute to this improving trend. • A combination of education, improved nutrition and availability of drugs and vaccines, will lead to an increase in life expectancy and improve the quality of lives.
Aging issues • There will be a dramatic increase in the number of people over 65 years of age an estimated six-fold increase by 2050. The leading causes of sickness and death among the elderly are: cancer, heart disease, circulatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis
