Malnutrition in Peru
Malnutrition is a condition that affects bodily capacities of an individual, including growth, pregnancy, lactation, resistance to illness, and cognitive and physical development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wfp.org/hunger/glossary )〕 Malnutrition is commonly used in reference to undernourishment, or a condition in which an individual’s diet does not include sufficient calories and proteins to sustain physiological needs, but it also includes overnourishment, or the consumption of excess calories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unicef.org/progressforchildren/2006n4/index_undernutrition.html )〕
Other terms exist to describe the specific effects of malnutrition on the body. Stunting refers to low height for age with reference to a population of healthy children. It is an indicator of chronic malnutrition, and high stunting levels are associated with poor socioeconomic conditions and a greater risk of exposure to adverse conditions such as illness.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/nutgrowthdb/about/introduction/en/index2.html )〕 Wasting refers to low weight for height with reference to a population of healthy children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/nutgrowthdb/about/introduction/en/index2.html )〕 In most cases, it reflects a recent and acute weight loss associated with famine or disease.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/nutgrowthdb/about/introduction/en/index2.html )〕
