2. Figure 1
The conceptual framework of nutritional status at the household level. Nutritional status is an outcome of food intake and health status and is linked with causal factors at the household level. The four underlying causes of food intake and health status can be influenced by several determinants. This conceptual framework emphasizes the difference between food security and nutrition security. Food security, illustrated as the small dotted triangle, refers to the area of causes and effects of food availability at the household level (eg, access to food) and utilization (eg, caring capacity). The underlying causes of health status (environmental causes and health services) can have several contributing factors (eg, poor housing and limited access to health care). Nutrition security, depicted in the large lined triangle, encompasses the entire relationship. Nutrition security exists when adequate nutritional status is achieved.
