Definición

  • Primary malnutrition is caused by a lack of adequate caloric intake rather than strictly lack of access to food, and most commonly affects children and the elderly. Secondary malnutrition is when a disease process decreases appetite, alters absorption, or disrupts nutrient metabolism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Kwarshiorkor]
