Wording:
Malnutrition is a big problem all over the world. Many people are affected by it. Yet, with the right knowledge it can be recognized and prevented.
Time:
hours
Introduction:
Malnutrition is the condition that results from having an unbalanced diet in which certain nutrients are lacking, or are in excess. A number of different nutritional disorders may arise, depending on which nutrients are out of balance in the diet. In most parts of the world malnutrition is present in the form of under nutrition, which is caused by a diet lacking adequate calories and protein. While malnutrition is more common in developing countries, it is also present in industrialized countries. In wealthier nations it is more likely to be caused by unhealthy diets with excess energy, fats, and refined carbohydrates. A growing trend of obesity is now a major public health concern in lower socio-economic levels and in developing countries as well.<br /> <br /> Malnutrition has shown to be an important concern in women, children, and the elderly. Because of pregnancies and breastfeeding, women have additional nutrient requirements. Children can be at risk for malnutrition even before birth, as their nutrition levels are directly tied to the nutrition of their mothers. Breastfeeding can reduce rates of malnutrition and mortality in children, and educational programs for mothers could have a large impact on these rates. The elderly have a large risk of malnutrition because of unique complications such as changes in appetite, energy levels, and chewing and swallowing problems. Adequate elderly care is essential for preventing malnutrition, especially when the elderly cannot care for themselves.<br /> <br /> In this task you will learn more about malnutrition, what it looks like, and what you as a DI can do at your project to address it.
