by studying malnutrition, we can understand the cause of malnutrition and can restrict the balanced diet for everyone to avoid malnutrition. In this way we can reduce the number of malnutited children or others who are suffering from malnutrition. Because malnutrition is common, especially in poor countries. It is directly or indirectly responsible for half of all deaths worldwide in children under 5 years of age. Unless managed correctly, the mortality rate from severe malnutrition can be as high as 50%. Malnutrition is closely linked with both poverty and ignorance. Preventing malnutrition is one of the main goals of programmes that address poverty. Malnutrition is a common cause of childhood death, especially in poor countries.
