Abstract

Malnutrition is a condition which is caused by the deficiency of nutrients and vitamins which may be caused due to improper consumption of a proper diet or maybe caused due to impaired absorption of nutrients and minerals in the body of the individual. This article presents a better understanding of the causes, risk factors, and conditions of diseases that might be linked with malnutrition and may play an important role of the or act as an aggravating factor in the spreading of the prevalence of malnutrition. It takes into account the demographic details and other variables in sample population such as age, dietary factors, access to healthcare etc. thus providing a detailed insight into the prevalence of malnutrition and how it is affected by these variables and factors such as socio-economic factors which affect the quality and standards of living conditions which in turn act as a deciding factor in the occurrence and tendency of malnutrition. The data collected from the sample is analyzed, studied and is used to draw a comparative inference between the different categories of the population like prevalence of malnutrition between different age groups, in between male and female groups, and also among the various disparities like Malnutrition, Overweight, obesity and healthy nature.
