“…Little has been found comparing rural and urban populations. Nutrition status was reported to be worse in poor areas of cities than in rural areas in Indonesia [9], Thailand [10,11], India [12], Costa Rica, Guatemala, and El Salvador [13], and Tonga [14]. On the other hand, nutrition status was better in poor urban populations in Peru [15,16], El Salvador [17], Nicaragua [18], Brazil [19], Gambia [20], Nigeria [21], and Zimbabwe [22].…”

Debate continues on development priorities between urban and rural populations in emerging nations. A review of 33 papers on nutrition status and dietary intakes from different continents and countries found comparisons of poor urban and rural populations inconclusive. It is proposed that the two populations can never be truly comparable, and that urban-rural competition for resources is not useful. Several kinds of health and nutrition surveys could be useful for identifying priority groups and issues within the urban context.
