Question

what is undernutrition ? how is it different from malnutrition ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Undernutrition denotes insufficient intake of energy and nutrients to meet an individual's needs to maintain good health. In most literature, undernutrition is used synonymously with malnutrition.

Undernourishment is the effect of a diet that doesn't produce enough raw energy, while malnourishment is the effect of a diet missing essential nutrients, but producing plenty of energy.
