Question

difference between mortality and malnutrition ​

Answer 1

$\huge\sf\fbox\pink{Answer}$

The fourth perspective with which to assess the nutritional situation in populations is the relationship between malnutrition and mortality. Malnutrition and mortality are usually closely linked. Acute protein-energy malnutrition mainly leads to death by increasing the susceptibility of malnourished individuals to infectious diseases and, once infected, increasing the severity and duration of these diseases. Thus, if the organisms which cause important infectious diseases (diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, measles, etc.) are not present, malnutrition may not produce as many deaths compared to a situation in which individuals are commonly exposed to these organisms.
