The double burden of childhood undernutrition and adult-onset adiposity-related chronic diseases is a key concern in many developing countries that are currently undergoing epidemiological and nutrition transition. Impaired linear growth with suboptimal lean body mass development seems to be the link between these 2 seemingly contrasting forms of malnutrition. Studies assessing the role of early nutrition in the later lean body mass development have shown consistent positive association. In addition, the nutrition during life course, especially the dietary intake of protein, zinc, calcium, and vitamin D status, impacts the lean body mass. Promoting increased intake of these important nutrients throughout life course would, therefore, be important for optimal development and maintenance of lean body mass. Diversified diets with increased consumption of nutrient-rich foods, especially milk and other animal source foods, are crucial for the development of optimal body composition and alleviation of the double burden of malnutrition.
