How many people die each year for starvation?

Answer 1

Through the inability to afford food, none found.

Through being a child being starved to death as punishment, none found.

Through an eating disorder in which one starves oneself to death, none found.

In the case of the last, there has been some, just no numbers provided. It is estimated that 1 to 3 percent of teen girls may get Anorexia Nervosa and 1% of them may die sometime within 10 to 20 years after getting it.

Obviously there are noted exceptions, Karen Carpenter, Brittany Murphy.

And obviously some child somewhere was starved to death by abuse. And, in 300,000,000 plus people, surely someone somewhere has died for being unable to afford food - though actually, there would have had to be drug or mental illness problems for that, as there are food programs in every town.

Basically, starvation is so infrequent for any reason that it does not statistically register.

Answer 2

"If I could say how many people starve each year I could not tell you exactly but an estamation would be over 400 million people."

Absolutely not so. The actual number, if you consider "poor diet" and "malnutrition" together as a single cause of death, is close to 7 million.

The irony is more people die from overeating (Heart disease, Diabetes, obesity) than do from starvation.

It's around 5 million (5,000,000) people per year from starvation.(not including malnutrition)

That's about 13,698 per day !

Answer 3

Think about it this way...someone dies roughly every 5 seconds from starvation. Is this for school work?
