全球飢餓指數 印度排第97

NEW DELHI: 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.

印度仍然處於普遍飢餓的嚴重水平，全球飢餓指數（GHI）在118個發展中國家中排第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.

排名比印度更低的國家有極度貧窮的非洲國家，比如尼日爾、乍得、埃塞俄比亞和塞拉利昂，還有印度的兩個鄰國阿富汗和巴基斯坦。其他鄰國，比如斯里蘭卡、孟加拉國、尼泊爾和中國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.

全球飢餓指數主要評估4個關鍵參數，分別是營養不良人口的比例，消瘦和發育不良的5歲以下孩子，同一年齡段的嬰兒死亡率。

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 ting refers to the deficiency in height in relation to age, reflecting chronic undernutrition.

調查對131個國家進行研究，得到了118個國家的數據。今年，兒童飢餓的兩個衡量標準，消瘦和發育不良，讓人們能夠更全面地瞭解現狀。消瘦指的是體重相對身高太輕，反應了兒童的急性營養不良。發育不良，指的是身高相對年齡太矮，反應了慢性營養不良
