全球饥饿指数 印度排第97

India continues to have serious levels of widespread hunger forcing it to be ranked a lowly 97 among 118 developing countries for which the Global Hunger Index (GHI) was calculated this year.

印度仍然处于普遍饥饿的严重水平,全球饥饿指数(GHI)在118个发展中国家中排第97.

Countries worse than India include extremely poor African countries such as Niger, Chad, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone besides two of India’s neighbours: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Other neighbours Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and China are all ranked above India.

排名比印度更低的国家有极度贫穷的非洲国家,比如尼日尔、乍得、埃塞俄比亚和塞拉利昂,还有印度的两个邻国阿富汗和巴基斯坦。其他邻国,比如斯里兰卡、孟加拉国、尼泊尔和中国的排名都在印度之上。

The GHI is calculated by taking into account four key parameters: shares of undernourished population, wasted and stunted children aged under 5, and infant mortality rate of the same age group.

全球饥饿指数主要评估4个关键参数,分别是营养不良人口的比例,消瘦和发育不良的5岁以下孩子,同一年龄段的婴儿死亡率。

Of the 131 countries studied, data was available for 118 countries. This year, for the first time, two measures of child hunger -wasting and stunting -have been used to give a more complete picture. Wasting refers to low weight in relation to a child’s height, reflecting acute undernutrition.Stunting refers to the deficiency in height in relation to age, reflecting chronic undernutrition.

调查对131个国家进行研究,得到了118个国家的数据。今年,儿童饥饿的两个衡量标准,消瘦和发育不良,让人们能够更全面地了解现状。消瘦指的是体重相对身高太轻,反应了儿童的急性营养不良。发育不良,指的是身高相对年龄太矮,反应了慢性营养不良
