Malnutrition /under nourishment occurs when the body doesn't get enough nutrients. Causes include a poor diet, digestive conditions or another disease. Symptoms are fatigue, dizziness and weight loss. Untreated malnutrition can cause physical or mental disability. Treatment must address any underlying conditions and replace missing nutrients.
