#Nutrition matters for people with rare diseases because of vitamin and mineral deficiencies, difficulty swallowing or the need for specialised diets.

➡️ #MedicalNutrition can be an essential treatment and is often the only viable treatment for certain metabolic disorders.

A disease is rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people.

Rare diseases – by the numbers:
🦓300M people with rare diseases
🦓3.5 – 5.9% of the population
🦓72% are genetic diseases
