Malnutrition may occur when there is a lack of nutrients in the diet or when the body cannot absorb nutrients from food. Cancer and cancer treatment may cause malnutrition.
  • An imbalanced nutritional status resulted from insufficient intake of nutrients to meet normal physiological requirement.
  • Disorder of nutrition due to unbalanced or insufficient diet or to defective assimilation or utilization of nutrients.
  • Food provides the energy and nutrients you need to be healthy. If you don't get enough nutrients -- including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals - you may suffer from malnutrition.causes of malnutrition include:
    • lack of specific nutrients in your diet. Even the lack of one vitamin can lead to malnutrition.
    • an unbalanced diet
    • certain medical problems, such as malabsorption syndromes and cancers
    symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness and weight loss, or you may have no symptoms. Your doctor will do tests, depending on the cause of your problem. Treatment may include replacing the missing nutrients and treating the underlying cause.
  • Inadequate nutrition resulting from poor diet, malabsorption, or abnormal nutrient distribution.
