1. Undernourishment
Caused by inhospitable terrain in the production of food, such as arid desert climate is not
suitable to the local people do not know. To grow or manufacture or storage of food
production in the modified. Some seasonal values can be stored up or eat in order to reduce
the remote area. Difficult to deliver food to buy or eat food that is nutritious.
2. Lack of knowledge of nutrition.
Despite the abundance and are able to have any, but if enough knowledge to choose the
good food will cause malnutrition in. No interest for the price of the acquired causes of
malnutrition are It is also not discriminating and advantages. Benefits of such foods are not
comparing like to buy fruit in season. And cheap to eat. But to buy food, flour or sugar.
With beautiful packaging, the advertising value compared propagandize the values of the
lack of knowledge about Nutrition leading to the production process is to recognize the
value of food and buying. But then, how in the preparation of consumer abuse. Eat fruit
instead of sweets, but not through cleaning properly will cause contamination of unhygienic
disease with them, and even through good food choices. Preparation of health care. But
those who do not eat properly as nutrition is to eat fast food. Chewing food and feeding
information that is not the time to get staple food with The snack foods. To squeeze too
much sugar in the stomach area will be full of food to eat. Or something like that do not
like to seek out, it will result in the malnourished.
3. Impairment of the body.
Impairment of body organs, such as incomplete occlusion. Since the digestive system.
Chewing is a defect or pathology such as anemia Hookworm occurs even. Defects of organs
absorb nutrients. That can not be absorbed into the food in the body. Children Paw Pr lack
of energy and demonstrate. Knowledge about nutrition-related low to modify significantly
the child will have a role in this regard. But note that changes made to the nutrition of
children with very valuable and good eating habits will be shared between children and
parents to be understood as the corresponding obligations of the child in question is the
mission of urgency.
Malnourished due to lack of protein and energy. Vitamin A deficiency. Lack of Vitamin B1 B2
vitamin deficiency anemia, mostly in children. The lack of protein and energy. Lack of food
supplements such as vitamin A deficiency associated with various B vitamins.
Will notice that the child is undernourished or not. Observed by the two levels.
If the child missing in severe protein and energy. Obvious symptoms. Soob observable from
the body like a thin skin, wrinkled old man. Subcutaneous fat and muscle the least.
But the second level refers to the child's brain is smaller will be recognized soon. Inaction is
not able to use the relevant organs such as hands and eyes. Nervous system will develop
slowly. If children receive adequate food and health benefits. Affect the stability of the
nervous system. Children will get to sleep, sleep Business cheerful. Emotional control and
adjust the environment. Structured body in proportion. Weight and the elderly that are
appropriate for their skin lesions with sparkling eyes, bright red lip.

Growth in children
Some studies have shown that, besides resulting in shorter stature, stunting is also associated with reduced physical activity, sub-optimal muscle growth and strenght, and poor overall development.

Stunted
Stunting is reflective of nutritional deprivation in childhood. If is established from as early as six months to two years of age, the condition is likely to remain for life. In other words, a stunted child will grow up into a stunted adult.

Malnutrition in children
Eating more doesn't mean he or she is eating right. A Pudgy preschooler who is packing on the pounds might not be starved of nutrients, but instead is "stuffed" with excessive nutrients.
Yes, both the fat and thin child could be malnorished. How is this so? Well, malnutrition, in simple terms, is defined as a state of poor nutrition resulting from insufficient or excessive nutritional intake.
The short and thin of it
Over-nutrition childhood is an important concern. But the media's fixation on, and attention to, this problem tends to obscure the fact that we actually have more under-nourished children than overnourished.
Under-nutrition is a form of malnutrition. In disadvantaged communities where foods is scarce, under-nutrition could be so severe that it results in protein-energy malnutrition[PEM]. Victims are usually seen in famine-and poverty-stricken countries where emaciation occurs and skin would be hanging off bones. Fortunately PEM is rare here.
This, however, doesn't mean that we can all heave a sigh of relief. In a nationwide survey from 1998 to 2000 of children less than six years old, the Ministry of Health/UNICEF reported that 19% were underweight while 16.7% were stunted. A subsequent survey said that the overall prevalence of underweight among children aged below five years had dropped a little to 17.3% in 2004.
In poorer communities, underweight and stunting in children are even more pronounced, registering around 25%.
