What is Malnutrition?
Photo: Three sisters at a health centre in Haiti. Malnutrition is usually the result of a combination of inadequate dietary intake and infection (Fig. 6). In children, malnutrition is synonymous with growth failure - malnourished children are shorter and lighter than they should be for their age. To get a measure of malnutrition in a population, young children can be weighed and measured and the results compared to those of a 'reference population' known to have grown well. Meas uring weight and height is the most common way of assessing malnutrition in populations. Although many people still refer to growth failure as 'protein-energy malnutrition,' or PEM, it is now recognized that poor growth in children results not only from a deficiency of protein and energy but also from an inadequate intake of vital minerals (such as iron, zinc and iodine) and vitamins (such as vitamin A), and often essential fatty acids as well. These minerals are needed in tiny quantities, on the order of a few thousandths of a gram or less each day. They are con sequently called micronutrients. Mi cro nutrients are needed for the production of enzymes, hormones and other substances that are required to regulate biological pro cesses leading to growth, activity, development and the functioning of the immune and reproductive systems. All of the minerals that the body needs - calcium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, iodine, sodium, potassium and magnesium, for example - have to come either from the food we eat or from supplements. While the body manufactures many of the complex organic molecules it needs from simpler building blocks, the vitamins - A, the B complex, C and so on - are not synthesized. Vitamin D is exceptional in that it can be made in the skin, providing a person has sufficient exposure to direct sunlight.

Malnutrition: Causes
  • In as many as 35 of the poorest countries, 30-50 per cent of the population may have no access to health services at all. More than 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and some 2.9 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation. The result is the spread of infectious diseases, including childhood diarrhoea, which in turn are major causes of malnutrition. Each year, diarrhoeal dehydration claims the lives of 2.2 million children under five in developing countries. Inadequate care for children and women is an underlying cause of malnutrition only recently recognized in all its harmful ramifications. Good hygiene in and around the home and in handling food reduces the risk of illness. Care also includes all interaction between parent and child that helps children develop emotionally as well as physically. Several studies have found that malnourished children who were stimulated verbally and cognitively had higher growth rates than those who were not. Discrimination against women and girls is an important basic cause of malnutrition. The very high rates of child malnutrition and low birthweight throughout much of South Asia are linked to such factors as women's poor access to education and their low levels of participation in paid employment, compared with other regions.

Starvation
Structural and functional changes due to the total lack of intake of energy and essential nutrients. Starvation is the most severe form of malnutrition. It may result from fasting, famine, anorexia nervosa, catastrophic disease of the GI tract, stroke, or coma. The basic metabolic response to starvation is conservation of energy and body tissues. However, the body will mobilize its own tissues as a source of energy, which results in the destruction of visceral organs and muscle and in extreme shrinkage of adipose tissue. Total starvation is fatal in 8 to 12 wk.
Symptoms and Signs
In adult volunteers who fasted for 30 to 40 days, weight loss was marked (25% of initial weight), metabolic rate decreased, and the rate and amount of tissue protein breakdown decreased by about 30%. In more prolonged starvation, weight loss may reach 50% in adults and possibly more in children. Loss of organ weight is greatest in the liver and intestine, moderate in the heart and kidneys, and least in the nervous system. Emaciation is most obvious in areas where prominent fat depots normally exist. Muscle mass shrinks and bones protrude. The skin becomes thin, dry, inelastic, pale, and cold. The hair is dry and sparse and falls out easily.

Malnutrition
Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: A condition caused by inadequate intake or inadequate digestion of nutrients. It may result from eating an inadequate or unbalanced diet, digestive problems, absorption problems, or other medical conditions.
Alternative Names: Nutrition - inadequate
Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Malnutrition is a general term that indicates a lack of some or all nutritional elements.
This can occur because of deficiencies in the diet. Single vitamin deficiencies are a form of malnutrition just as starvation is a form of malnutrition. Malnutrition can also occur when nutrients are adequately consumed in the diet, but one or more nutrients are not digested or absorbed properly.
Malnutrition may be mild enough to show no symptoms or so severe that the damage it has done is irreversible even though the individual may be kept alive.
Worldwide, malnutrition continues to be a significant problem, especially among children who cannot fend adequately for themselves. Poverty, natural disasters, political problems and war in countries such as Biafra, Somalia, Rwanda, Iraq, and many others have demonstrated that

(AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus)
Acute malnutrition rates among Iraqi children under five rose late last year to 7.7 per cent from four per cent after the ouster of President Saddam Hussein in April 2003, said Jean Ziegler, the UN Human Rights Commission's special expert on the right to food. Malnutrition, which is exacerbated by a lack of clean water and inadequate sanitation, is a major child-killer in poor countries. Children who manage to survive are usually physically and mentally impaired for the rest of their lives and more vulnerable to disease.

E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, November 22, 2002 by CommonDreams.org Malnutrition in Iraq - What the New UNICEF Study Shows by Ramzi Kysia UNICEF just released statistics showing a significant improvement in the nutritional status of children in Iraq. According to the figures, over the last two years chronic malnutrition has declined by 23%, and acute malnutrition has declined by almost 50%. The improvement is visible. At the hospitals I’ve visited, particularly in Central and Northern Iraq, wasting diseases such as kwashiorkor and marasmus are no longer pandemic. And while doctors throughout Iraq continue to report shortages in essential medicines and equipment, pediatric cancers have replaced malnutrition as their chief complaint. Despite these improvements - UNICEF figures show that over 1 in 5 Iraqi children remain malnourished. Our work isn’t over yet. There are several reasons why malnutrition has declined - almost all due to busting sanctions. One reason is, fairly obviously, because more food is available. In December 1999, the UN lifted the limit it had placed on Iraqi oil sales through the Oil-for-Food program, and in early 2000 exempted food from the security review process. This allowed Iraq to import more food, more quickly, and distribute it to families in need. Of the $24.2 billion in supplies Iraq has been allowed to import under the Oil-for-Food program to date, almost $10 billion has arrived in just the last year - allowing the Iraqi government to increase the food ration they provide to everyone in Iraq.

  • Optional burqas and mandatory malnutrition After spending 18 months studying Afghanistan, Dr. Lynn Amowitz reports that life under the Taliban is more brutal and more complicated than we suspected. By Janelle Brown When President Bush asked kids across America to each donate a dollar for the impoverished children of Afghanistan last week, it was a sweet if mildly propagandistic gesture. It also was a reiteration of a message that has accompanied his most aggressive promises to bomb the Taliban into submission: Our war is not with the Afghan people; in fact, we want to help alleviate their suffering. And to prove the U.S. government's commitment to civilians caught in the violence, Bush has earmarked $320 million in aid for the people of Afghanistan, and dropped in nearly 275,000 meals to the country. "The evildoers have struck our nation, but out of evil comes good," Bush told military personnel in a speech at Travis Air Force Base on Wednesday. "We are a good, kindhearted, decent people, and we're showing the world just that in our compassion and our resolve."

    2020 Vision Brief 6, October 1994
    Malnutrition and Food Insecurity Projections, 2020
    by Marito Garcia The Nutrition-Health Connection Future Trends If trends in the 1980s persist, it is likely that the number of children with PEM will increase by the year 2000; it is expected to remain at about 200 million by year 2020 despite the projected decline in fertility rates (Figure 1) . Two projections into the futurea pessimistic scenario and an optimistic scenarioare mapped based on historical trends. Projections of absolute numbers of malnourished children account for the future trends in fertility, but do not consider possible breakthroughs in food production or for disasters such as the uncontrolled spread of AIDS. The optimistic scenario is built around the "best five-year" historical trends between 1975 and 1990, whereas the pessimistic scenario is based on the "worst five-year" historical trends over the same period. Thus, one could say that "if the trends in 1990 to 2020 are like the rates of improvement in 1975 to 1980, then we will see a reduction in malnourished from . . . . " A similar scenario-building approach was used in the Second Report on the World Nutrition Situation (1992) for year 2000 projections; the trend line is extended to the year 2020 for purposes of the present exercise. The projections indicate that a satisfactory nutrition situation will not be realized unless new approaches are tried. The best-case ("optimistic") scenario shows that by year 2020 there would be about 100 million preschool children with PEM. The potentiating effects of malnutrition will likely be responsible for roughly 56 million child deaths in this scenario. The projections show that the goal of reducing child malnutrition prevalence by half by year 2000 set by the World Summit for Children (1990) and the International Conference on Nutrition (1992) will not be attained by 2020 even using the best-case scenario. The worst-case ("pessimistic") scenario looks grim. The proportion of underweight children would likely rise to about 200 million by year 2000.

    IFPRI Home 2020 Vision Publications and Resources Catalog Briefs 2020 Brief No. 64 Overcoming Child Malnutrition in Developing Countries: Past Achievements and Future Choices Lisa C. Smith and Lawrence Haddad February 2000 In 1995, 167 million children under five years old—almost one-third of developing-country children—were malnourished. Malnutrition causes a great deal of human suffering, and it is a violation of a child’s human rights. It is associated with more than half of all deaths of children worldwide. People who survive a malnourished childhood are less physically and intellectually productive and suffer from more chronic illness and disability. The costs to society are enormous. Eradicating malnutrition remains a tremendous public policy challenge. Which types of interventions will have the greatest impact in reducing child malnutrition? The study on which this brief is based uses national data for 63 countries over 1970–96 to explore this question. DETERMINANTS OF CHILD NUTRITIONAL STATUS
    REDUCTIONS IN CHILD MALNUTRITION DURING

    Between 1970 and 1995, the number of malnourished children declined by 37 million, from 204 million to 167 million, while the prevalence of malnutrition (as measured by weight below the norm) in the developing world as a whole fell from 46.5 percent to 31 percent, about 15 percentage points in all (see the table). Progress in reducing malnutrition has varied greatly from one region to another. The prevalence of malnutrition has declined the fastest in South Asia (by 23 percentage points) and slowest in Sub-Saharan Africa (4 percentage points). The number of malnourished children has declined most sharply in East Asia (from 78 to 38 million). The situation is particularly troubling in Sub-Saharan Africa where the number of malnourished children has increased by 70 percent. Since 1970, the prevalence has decreased in 35 developing countries, held steady in 15, and increased in 12, with most of the countries with increases in Sub-Saharan Africa.
