What is It
Causes of Overnutrition
A. Eating more food (the body’s fuel), than the body requires.
B. Eating too much foods or consuming foods and drinks that are
high in sugars and fats, and engaging in less physical activity or both.
2. Undernutrition happens when a person does not eat or take the daily
needed nutrients and nutritional requirements leading to deficiencies and
diseases.
There are four forms of undernutrition: wasting, stunting, underweight,
and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.
A. Wasting - Low weight-for-height. A young child who is moderately or
severely wasted has an increased risk of death, but treatment is
possible.
B. Stunting -Low height-for-age. Stunting holds children back from
reaching their physical and mental potential (possible full capacity).

Undernutrition makes children in particular much more vulnerable to disease
and death.
Causes of Undernutrition
1. Poverty
In many developing countries, long-term (chronic) malnutrition is
widespread simply because of poverty. People do not have enough food
to eat due to low income.
2. Long-term institutional care
When older persons or adults are under hospital care for a long time with poor
supply of nutritious foods.
3. Isolation
When people who are socially isolated due to mobility issues (Person with
disability), health problems, or other factors like COVID-19 issues (due to
limited food supply)
4. Serious Illness
Recovering from or living with a serious illness like cancer, tuberculosis,
kidney failure, heart disease and stroke.
