Answer:

Causes

Malnutrition can occur for various reasons. The sections below outline these potential causes in more detail.  

A low intake of food

Some people develop malnutrition because there is not enough food available or because they have difficulty eating or absorbing nutrients.  

This can happen as a result of:  

cancer

liver disease

conditions that cause nausea or make it difficult to eat or swallow

taking medications that make eating difficult — due to nausea, for example

Mouth problems such as badly fitting dentures may also contribute to malnutrition.

Mental health conditions

Undernutrition or malnutrition can affect people with:

depression

dementia

schizophrenia

anorexia nervosa

Social and mobility problems

Factors that can affect a person’s eating habits and potentially lead to malnutrition include:

being unable to leave the house or reach a store to buy food

finding it physically difficult to prepare meals

living alone, which can affect a person’s motivation to cook and eat

having limited cooking skills

not having enough money to spend on food

Digestive disorders and stomach conditions

If the body does not absorb nutrients efficiently, even a healthful diet may not prevent malnutrition.

Examples of digestive and stomach conditions that may cause this include:

Crohn’s disease

ulcerative colitis

celiac disease

persistent diarrhea, vomiting, or both

Alcohol use disorder

Consuming a lot of alcohol can lead to gastritis or long-term damage to the pancreas. These issues can make it hard to digest food, absorb vitamins, and produce hormones that regulate metabolism.

Alcohol also contains calories, so a person may not feel hungry after drinking it. They may therefore not eat enough healthful food to supply the body with essential nutrients.
