Malnutrition itself is not a communicable disease, as it does not spread from person to person. However, it can be caused by factors such as Infectious Diseases, poor diet, and lack of access to food, which can be interrelated. In communities where infectious diseases are prevalent, malnutrition can become more widespread due to the body's increased nutritional needs and decreased intake. Therefore, while malnutrition isn't communicable, the conditions that lead to it can be influenced by communicable diseases.
