Nutritional disorders in early childhood remain a major global health concern, affecting physical growth, neurodevelopment, immune function, and long-term metabolic outcomes. Children under five years of age are particularly vulnerable due to rapid growth demands and increased susceptibility to environmental, infectious, and socio-economic factors. Both undernutrition (including wasting, stunting, and micronutrient deficiencies) and overnutrition (overweight and obesity) contribute significantly to pediatric morbidity worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical patterns of nutritional disorders in children aged 6 months to 3 years and to evaluate contemporary correction strategies based on evidence-based nutritional and medical interventions. The study integrates current epidemiological data, clinical observations, and modern therapeutic recommendations, including individualized dietary planning, micronutrient supplementation, therapeutic feeding programs, probiotic support, and parental counseling. Recent evidence demonstrates that early identification through anthropometric screening and laboratory assessment significantly improves treatment outcomes. Modern correction strategies emphasize personalized nutrition plans tailored to age, metabolic needs, and comorbid conditions. Multidisciplinary management involving pediatricians, nutritionists, and caregivers has been shown to enhance recovery rates and prevent long-term developmental consequences. Early intervention is critical in minimizing irreversible growth impairment and cognitive deficits. Contemporary approaches combining nutritional therapy, education, and regular follow-up represent the most effective strategy in managing nutritional disorders in early childhood.
