Malnutrition

Malnutrition refers to energy and nutritional shortages, excesses, or imbalances in a person’s diet. Malnutrition refers to three different types of conditions

Undernutrition consists of wasting (low weight-for-height), stunting (low height-for-age), and underweight (low weight-for-age).

Micronutrient malnutrition encompasses micronutrient deficiencies (a lack of essential vitamins and minerals) and micronutrient excess (a surplus of micronutrients).

Obesity, overweight, and noncommunicable illnesses linked to diet (such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers).

Who is affected the most?                                        

Malnutrition affects every country on the planet in one way or another. Combating malnutrition in all of its manifestations is one of the world’s most pressing public health issues.

Malnutrition is especially dangerous for women, babies, children, and adolescents. Early nutrition optimization, which includes the 1000 days between conception and a child’s second birthday, offers the most impressive possible start in life, with long-term advantages.
