Malnutrition in children is a significant global health issue that affects their growth, development, and overall well-being. It can manifest in two primary forms: undernutrition and overnutrition. Causes of Malnutrition: Lack of Food Security: Insufficient access to nutritious food due to poverty, economic instability, or food scarcity. Inadequate Dietary Intake: Poor dietary choices, lack of knowledge about nutrition, or cultural practices that limit certain food groups. Health Issues: Frequent infections, chronic diseases, or gastrointestinal conditions that affect nutrient absorption (e.g., diarrhea, worms). Socioeconomic Factors: Poor education, lack of healthcare access, and inadequate maternal care can contribute to malnutrition in children. Environmental Factors: Natural disasters, conflict, and displacement can disrupt food supply and access. #Dr.preetigoel #Bestpediatrician https://g.page/r/CZamEDM1_BbNEBM/review
