desnutrición

desnutrición

a condition in which a person does not have enough food or good food to eat in order to stay healthy

What is "malnutrition"?

Malnutrition occurs when the body does not receive enough nutrients to function properly, leading to health problems. This can happen because of not eating enough food, poor diet quality, or medical conditions that affect nutrient absorption or metabolism. Malnutrition can result in weight loss, weakness, fatigue, slowed growth in children, weakened immune system, and other health issues. Treatment typically involves improving dietary intake to ensure enough nutrition, addressing underlying medical conditions, and, in serious cases, providing nutritional supplements or providing medical care or support for recovery.

What is "obesity"?

Obesity is a medical condition characterized by an excessive buildup of body fat, which can negatively impact health. It is commonly measured using the body mass index (BMI), where a BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese. Causes of obesity include a combination of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and certain medical conditions. Obesity increases the risk of various health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. Managing obesity typically involves lifestyle changes like adopting a healthier diet, increasing physical activity, and sometimes medical treatments or surgery.
