Child Malnutrition
Child malnutrition refers to a condition where children do not receive adequate nutrition for their age and developmental needs, leading to negative health outcomes. This can manifest in various forms, such as stunted growth, underweight, micronutrient deficiencies, and impaired cognitive development. Malnutrition in children is often caused by a lack of access to nutritious food, poor feeding practices, inadequate healthcare, and socio-economic factors. It can have long-term effects on physical and mental health, as well as overall well-being.
