Study Notes
Malnutrition: A Global Issue
- Malnutrition results in poor physical and cognitive development, and low resistance to illness
- 50% of deaths in children under 5 years old are associated with malnutrition, making them more vulnerable to severe diseases
- Malnutrition is a global issue, with undernutrition commonly found in developing countries and overnutrition in developed countries
Types of Malnutrition
- Under-nutrition: lack of nutrients caused by inadequate dietary intake and/or disease
- Encompasses a range of conditions, including:
- Acute malnutrition
- Chronic malnutrition or stunting
- Mixed form of acute and chronic malnutrition or underweight
- Deficiencies of micronutrients, including hidden hunger (vitamins and nutritional disorders)
Impact of Malnutrition on Children
- Malnutrition increases the risk of mortality in children under 5 years old
- Under-five deaths reduced from 90 in 1990 to 43 per 1000 live births in 2015
- 16,000 children died daily before celebrating their fifth birthday in 2015, mostly from preventable causes
Nutrition and Malnutrition
- Nutrition refers to processes involved in eating, digestion, and utilization of food by the body for growth and development, reproduction, physical activity, and maintenance of health
- Malnutrition is a group of pathological disorders resulting from an imbalance between intake of essential nutrients and the body's requirement of these nutrients, with subsequent harm to health, well-being, and/or productivity
- Includes under-nutrition and over-nutrition
Learning Objectives
- Explain the impact of malnutrition on the health of under-five children
- Explore the causes of malnutrition
- Determine the nutritional status of under-five children using the Modified Welcome classification and the WHO classification of malnutrition
- Identify the type of care a malnourished child requires
- Describe the strategies for the prevention of malnutrition in children
