Malnutrition refers to a pathological condition resulting from an imbalance between the body’s nutritional requirements and the intake of nutrients. It includes both undernutrition and overnutrition, but in the context of population and development, it commonly denotes undernutrition, where individuals do not receive adequate calories, proteins, vitamins, and minerals necessary for growth, maintenance, and proper functioning of the body. Malnutrition manifests in various forms such as wasting (low weight for height), stunting (low height for age), underweight (low weight for age), and micronutrient deficiencies like lack of iron, iodine, vitamin A, and zinc. It is both a cause and consequence of poverty and underdevelopment, significantly affecting human capital formation and socio-economic progress. One of the primary factors of malnutrition is poverty. In developing countries, a large section of the population lives below the poverty line and lacks the financial capacity to purchase sufficient and nutritious food. Economic deprivation limits access not only to food but also to healthcare, sanitation, and education, which are crucial for maintaining nutritional well-being. Poverty often forces families to consume low-cost, calorie-dense but nutrient-poor diets, leading to chronic deficiencies and ________ _____ ________ _________ ____ _____ __________ ____.
