What is malnutrition?

This term covers a number of illnesses, each having its direct cause in one or more nutriments (for instance proteins, iodine or calcium) and characterized by a imbalance in cell function – provision of nutrition and energy on the one hand versus the growth needs of the organism, its inner regulation and functionality. 

Malnutrition causes death, mutilation and disability.

Malnutrition still exists in many forms in nearly every country in the world, despite general improvement in food distribution and standards of hygiene, and the growing availability of education and social care.

In the developing world, 174 million children under 5 are considered malnourished, as shown by contrasting age and weight, and about 230 million are considered to show symptoms of delayed growth.
