| dc.description.abstract | Nutrition is very crucial in the survival of human race and more importantly the development of a child from the womb to adulthood. In some instances, the age of the individuals determines the kind of nutrients required. Therefore, the human cycle has something to do with the nutrients obtained. We formulate a mathematical model as a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations to investigate the effects of poor nutrition from conception to adulthood using the poor pregnant woman nutrient status. The steady states are studied and R0 of poor nutrition in the society are calculated. To keep the society healthy and free of malnutrition, malnourished pregnant females are encouraged to eat foods that contain all the nutrients needed for development. The model is supported with numerical simulation. � Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2019. | en_US |
