    The key takeaways are that malnutrition results from an unbalanced diet where certain nutrients are deficient, in excess or in the wrong proportions. It can lead to conditions like kwashiorkor, rickets, scurvy, osteoporosis and obesity.

    Malnutrition can result from a lack of proteins, vitamins, minerals, or calories in the diet. Specific deficiencies like a lack of vitamin C causes scurvy or a lack of calcium and vitamin D causes rickets.

    Symptoms of malnutrition include swollen and bleeding gums, distended stomach, thin body, poor teeth and bone formation, fatigue, thirst, numbness and frequent urination.
