MALNUTRITION refers to deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and/or nutrients . Malnutrition refers to when a person’s diet does not provide enough nutrients or the right balance of nutrients for optimal health.
FORMS OF MALNUTRITION Undernutrition: This type of malnutrition results from not getting enough protein, calories or micronutrients. It leads to low weight-for-height (wasting), height-for-age (stunting) and weight-for-age (underweight). Overnutrition : is a form of malnutrition in which the intake of nutrients is oversupplied. The amount of nutrients exceeds the amount required for normal growth, development, and metabolism.
