3-SECOND BITE

Malnutrition usually implies inadequate amounts and poor quality food, resulting in weight loss or poor childhood growth, but it can include the wrong sort of food, resulting in obesity.

3-MINUTE SNACK

Malnutrition in adults is identified by weight loss, starting with a body mass index of under 18.5 kg/m², which is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This could result from illness, so it is common in hospital patients. For children, growth failure or weight loss is assessed as a low weight for age, either through a low weight for height (wasting) or a low height for age (stunting). The latter condition is the most prevalent, with about 25% of pre-school children stunted globally.
