Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a disorder that occurs when the body lacks the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients it needs to keep its tissues and organs healthy. People who are either undernourished or over nourished suffer from malnutrition. A number of tests have been created to address this issue on more subjective grounds in order to determine the physiologic and functional consequences of malnutrition and to evaluate the effects of nutritional supplementation
