When the health of a person suffers due to deficiency of nutrients in food as per his daily requirement, he/she is said to be the victim of C) malnutrition

Definition:

Malnutrition is a term that covers both undernutrition and overnutrition. Undernutrition is referred to as 'malnutrition' in most medical research.

Undernutrition:

• Undernutrition is a deficiency of nutrients that causes stunted growth and being underweight.

• Vitamin deficiency and mineral deficiency are normally treated as different problems. When calories are inadequate, however, vitamins and minerals are likely to be deficient as well.
• It has a negative impact on physical and mental function, as well as alterations in body composition and cell mass.
• Undernutrition is a major public health issue that causes the greatest death rate in children and has long-term physiologic consequences

Overnutrition:

• Overnutrition is caused by a surplus of nutrients, which can lead to overweight and obesity.
• Excess nutrient intake, inadequate energy expenditure, or both can lead to overnutrition. It causes overweight, which is defined as a BMI of 25 or higher and can lead to obesity.
• The dilemma of overnutrition, also known as the coexisting double burden of nutritional imbalance, is increasingly being reported from nations where hunger is still widespread.
• Overeating has been linked to noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

It is estimated that nearly one in three persons globally suffers from at least one form of malnutrition: wasting, stunting, vitamin or mineral deficiency, overweight, obesity, or diet-related non-communicable diseases. Undernutrition is more common in developing countries.
