Malnutrition is a condition that results from an imbalance between the nutrients consumed and the nutrients required by the body. It can manifest as undernutrition, where individuals do not get enough calories or essential nutrients, or overnutrition, where excessive intake leads to obesity and related health issues. This imbalance can significantly impact various physiological functions, including energy metabolism, immune response, nutritional support in clinical settings, and sustainability in food systems.
