What causes malnutrition?

1. The causes of malnutrition are:

1. Inappropriate or insufficient diet;

Usually refers to nutritional deficiencies resulting from inadequate intake, malabsorption, or excessive depletion of nutrients.

2. Overeating or excessive intake of specific nutrients.

Classification of malnutrition.

1. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM).

Protein-energy malnutrition shows that energy and protein are not available or absorbed enough in the body.

2. Micronutrient malnutrition.

Micronutrient malnutrition shows that some essential nutrients are not available in sufficient quantities, such as small but essential vitamins and trace elements in the body. Micronutrient deficiencies lead to a wide variety of diseases and weaken the normal functioning of the body.

Deficiencies in micronutrients such as vitamin A can reduce the body's ability to fight off disease. A long list of painful symptoms, ranging from stunted growth, reduced intelligence and various cognitive abilities, reduced communicative skills, reduced leadership and decisiveness, reduced vitality and energy, reduced muscle growth and strength, and worse, poor health, are all directly related to nutritional deficiencies. And, although rare, malnutrition can cause dark spots to appear.

Basically it should be genetic,

One of the reasons: the food is not well matched. There are many reasons for this, and the crowd also includes various groups of people.

If the child is malnourished, it may be that the child's mother is taking care of the child's food, and the food is unreasonable for the child, such as only giving the child meat to eat, or only giving the child vegetables, as well as what meat and vegetables are given to the child, eating one thing for a long time will also lead to the child's body imbalance, and in the long run, malnutrition will appear. Some adults are the same, some people like to be picky eaters, and they don't eat nutritious dishes all at once, which can also lead to malnutrition in people's bodies.

Reason 2: Food is not given according to the stage. For example, when a child needs a kind of nutrition, the parents do not do a good job and do not know the nutrition that the child needs, at this time, the child is particularly prone to malnutrition.

In addition to the above two reasons, there are many reasons, but most of the reasons are external reasons, of course, there are also internal reasons, which are congenital malnutrition, which is also more troublesome in the day after tomorrow. Therefore, when we are eating, we must pay attention to the balance of nutrition, eat less junk food, and pay attention to the reasonable combination of nutrition, so that we can grow better.

The main causes of malnutrition are: 1. Eating habits. It is mainly related to picky eating, picky eating, and overeating. 2. Disease **. It is mainly related to chronic enteritis, intestinal parasitic diseases, measles, diarrhea and other diseases. 3. Excessive dieting**.

Malnutrition is caused by picky eating and a penchant for small foods.

Malnutrition is often caused by factors such as decreased intake, poor absorption, or increased consumption due to disease. The decrease in intake includes picky eating and picky eating in children, and blindness in adolescents. Pregnant women may also be malnourished if they have severe early pregnancy reactions.

Malnutrition is a condition of nutritional deficiency caused by insufficient food intake, increased demand, excessive losses, or impaired utilization processes in the body.

One**. 1) Insufficient food intake: insufficient food due to famine or other reasons; Monotonous food variety, dietary imbalance caused by picky eating, etc.

2) Increased demand: The reasons for the increase in demand can be divided into congenital defects and acquired factors. Acquired deficiencies are disorders that result from defects in specific enzymes.

Acquired factors, such as a significant increase in the body's need for various nutrients during growth and development; increased consumption due to disease or impaired digestion and absorption; drug-induced malnutrition; environmental factors lead to an increase in demand.

2. Symptoms. Malnutrition is a syndrome of nutrient deficiencies that is more common in a variety of chronic diseases and can manifest differently. Malnutrition must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis to determine which nutrient is deficient. Such as protein deficiency, its symptoms include fatigue and fatigue, lack of interest in various activities, like to sit and lie down, study, low work efficiency, weight loss, subcutaneous fat atrophy, laxity, edema, polyuria, circulatory and digestive symptoms, metabolic disorders, anemia, etc.

3. Diagnosis. Depending on the patient's appearance and his various manifestations, it is not difficult to diagnose malnutrition.

1) The degree of emaciation and weight loss before and after the onset of the disease, and observe whether there is edema.

2) Mild or even complete loss of the labour force.

3) Those with severe float and cachexia are severely ill.

4) Plasma protein concentration, normal or only slightly decreased in mild cases, and significantly decreased in severe cases.

Fourth, prevention and control. It is also important to pay attention to the combination of various nutrients to prevent and treat various diseases that cause malnutrition. They are treated separately according to the degree of malnutrition.

1) For mild diseases such as no gastrointestinal disorders, high-protein and high-calorie diets or soft foods can be given, and it is advisable to divide meals into multiple meals.

2) Severely ill patients should be given vitamin-rich foods or vitamin B group drugs during the trial of liquid or easily digestible foods at the beginning. Other adjuncts**, such as nandrolone phenylpropionate 25 mg intramuscularly twice a week, are given along with a high-protein diet.

The main causes of malnutrition are:

1) Insufficient nutrient intake, such as feeding carbohydrates such as rice flour and porridge too early, as a staple food; long-term partial eating, picky eating, monotonous food variety; There are also cleft lip and cleft frontal lip that affect breastfeeding and eating.

2) Malabsorption of nutrients often leads to diarrhea, or is accompanied by pancreatic dysfunction. Whole, liver dysfunction, etc., hinders the absorption and utilization of nutrients.

3) The demand for nutrients increases, and the demand for nutrients in twins and premature infants is relatively large, and the demand for nutrients in the accelerated stage of growth and development increases, resulting in a relative shortage of nutrients and calories.

4) Increased excretion of nutrients in some diseases, such as the loss of glucose in the body in diabetes and the loss of a large amount of protein in the urine in nephrotic syndrome, can easily lead to malnutrition.

Therefore, to prevent malnutrition, we must first promote breastfeeding, add supplementary food reasonably and in a timely manner, prevent diarrhea and various digestive diseases, and timely promote various acute and chronic diseases and congenital malformations.

Unbalanced nutrition, picky eating, or the body's poor absorption of certain nutrients, such as calcium, if the body lacks vitamin D, calcium absorption is not good.

The body consumes more nutrients than it consumes.

If you eat Jinkelai, you will not be malnourished.

Inadequate energy and/or protein intake.

Causes of malnutrition.

1) Improper long-term feeding and insufficient calories: no breast milk or insufficient breast milk at birth, failure to reasonably choose staple food, and low-protein and low-calorie foods such as rice soup and rice cereal as staple food; Or add complementary food in time, to 8 or 9 months to vegetable soup mixed porridge.

2) Abrupt weaning: We cannot wean children in a planned and step-by-step manner, but we wean suddenly, from flowing juice directly to solid; Or the original six meals a day is reduced to three meals a day, so that the children's stomach can not adapt, and it is commonly known as "milk tuberculosis".

Causes of malnutrition (3) gastrointestinal diseases: long-term diarrhea, congenital malformations such as cleft lip, cleft, pyloric stenosis, cardia laxity, allergic colitis, frequent vomiting, etc. Causes of malnutrition (4) Chronic wasting diseases: hepatitis, nephritis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung abscess, measles, whooping cough, sepsis.

Malnutrition due to long-term fever, loss of appetite, and increased consumption. (5) Frail infants: low birth weight, twins, multiple births, or frail infants caused by accidents such as dystocia and asphyxia are prone to malnutrition.

6) Respiratory tract infection or diarrhea, infant eczema: avoid eating high-protein foods due to these factors, such as not eating eggs, fish, and meat for a long time and only eating vegetarian food, so that the protein intake is insufficient; Or weaning due to eczema and switching to rice cereal.
