Malnourishment is primarily caused by a lack of essential nutrients in the diet, which can result from insufficient food intake, poor dietary choices, or underlying health conditions that impair nutrient absorption. Economic factors, such as poverty and food insecurity, also play a significant role, limiting access to nutritious foods. Additionally, cultural practices and food availability can affect dietary habits and contribute to malnutrition. In some cases, medical issues such as gastrointestinal disorders can further exacerbate malnourishment by hindering nutrient utilization.
