Nutrition disorders can be caused by an insufficient intake of
food or of certain nutrients, by an inability of the body to absorb and
use nutrients, or by overconsumption of certain foods. Examples include
obesity caused by excess energy intake, anaemia caused by insufficient
intake of iron, and impaired sight because of inadequate intake of
vitamin A.
Nutrition disorders can be particularly serious in children, since they interfere with growth and development, and may predispose to many health problems, such as infection and chronic disease.
