Malnutrition is a widespread global health issue characterized by a deficiency or imbalance of essential nutrients in an individual’s diet. It can have serious and often long-lasting health consequences, affecting people of all ages. Malnutrition can manifest in various forms, including undernutrition, overnutrition (obesity), and specific micronutrient deficiencies.

Assessing malnutrition is crucial for identifying individuals at risk and for designing effective interventions. Various methods are used for malnutrition assessment, such as anthropometric measurements like Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) for children, body mass index (BMI) for adults, and laboratory tests to measure specific nutrient levels.
