Do you know ?
Each year, approximately 5.9 million children around the world die before their fifth birthday (2015).

Defining Malnutrition ! 
The term malnutrition is multifaceted. It encompasses both overnutrition, associated with overweight and obesity, and undernutrition, referring to multiple conditions including acute and chronic malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies 
The malnutrition refers to when a person’s diet does not provide enough nutrients or the right balance of nutrients for optimal health.
Even inappropriate dietary choices, can lead to malnutrition & undernutrition is one of malnutrition. It occurs when the body does not get enough food. 

Marasmus and kwashiorkor are common terms historically used to differentiate between types of SAM. Marasmus refers to children who are very thin for their height (that is, they meet the WHZ or MUAC cutoff) but do not have bilateral pitting edema; kwashiorkor refers to edematous malnutrition. The most recent WHO terminology for SAM has replaced these terms.
Risk Factors and Causes of Undernutrition
Undernutrition results from the complex interplay of a range of distal and proximal factors, as illustrated by the United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF)

If a adult does not get the right balance of nutrients, they can also have malnutrition. It is possible to have obesity with malnutrition.

Based on scientific literature investigating the relationships among specific individual, household, and environmental factors and the development of acute malnutrition in children, the following are significant risk factors for MAM and SAM.

Inadequate dietary intake

Inappropriate feeding

Fetal growth restriction

Inadequate sanitation

Lack of parental education

Family size

Incomplete vaccination

Poverty

Economic, political, and environmental instability and emergency situations.

When a person has too little food, a limited diet, or a condition that stops their body from obtaining the right balance of nutrients, it can have a severe impact on their health. In some cases, this can become life threatening as well.
