		Older, edentulous (having no teeth) patients who have had a stroke with the accompanying chewing and swallowing problems may be at significant nutritional risk, particularly if they are living alone and on a limited income.
		Finally, malnutrition (both undernutrition and overnutrition) have specific effects on oral health.
		Although oral diseases associated with vitamin deficiencies are rare in the United States and other industrialized countries, they may be common in emerging "third-world" nations.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 1, Ch. 2, Malnutrition
		Malnutrition includes undernutrition, in which nutrients are undersupplied, and overnutrition, in which nutrients are oversupplied.
		The key to early detection is awareness that persons in certain circumstances have a high risk of undernutrition (see Table 2-1) or overnutrition (see Table 2-2).
		Overnutrition is associated with a sedentary lifestyle and the continuous availability of food in more affluent countries.

	FAO:AG21:Magazine:Spotlight:The double burden of malnutrition:Fighting hunger - and obesity
		But a new report by FAO's Nutrition and Consumer Protection Division (AGN) finds that the Chinese have a major new public health problem: overnutrition is increasing to the point where 23% of the adult population is overweight or obese, and diet-related chronic diseases have become the leading cause of death.
		The extent of the public health threat posed by overnutrition is revealed in data on the incidence of diet-related chronic diseases.
		High prevalence of undernutrition in children and adults, emerging problems of overnutrition, diabetes and high blood pressure (mainly in urban areas) and continuing high prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies.

		Unbalanced diets, overnutrition and non-nutrition-related factors are held responsible for a variety of chronic diseases, especially cardio-vascular diseases (CVD), which are major burdens in affluent countries.
		Overnutrition according to the BMI measure is obviously not only a problem of the wealthier segments of the population, but also affects the poor to a considerable extent, much more than undernutrition.
		For children, these are low rates of breastfeeding, deficiencies in weaning practices, apparent overnutrition for years 0 to 7 and undernutrition from 7 to 13, a lack of vitamin C and iron deficiencies.

		As western society has shifted to a higher caloric diet and more sedentary lifestyle, the incidence of type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) has increased to epidemic proportions.
		What is not clearly understood is how "chronic overnutrition" leads to diabetes and its complications.
		Our laboratory focuses on examining mechanisms by which the cells in the body "sense" nutrients and what impacts this "sensing" has on the normal functions of the cells.

		Undernutrition and overnutrition are simple concepts, though they might sound complex.
		Overnutrition is what happens when you eat too much and get fat; undernutrition is what happens when you don’t get enough to eat.
		If that is correct, part of the way out involves nurturing a culture of hope and optimism over one of despair, and one recognizing the vital connection between physical health and emotional, even spiritual, well-being.

		Undernutrition is a time bomb paving the way for overnutrition later in life.
		Overnutrition is particularly apparent in China, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand where 3 in 10 individuals are overweight, take little exercise and have high levels of diet-related diseases.
		There are as yet no proven strategies to combat overnutrition and encourage a dietary shift away from fats and added sugars.

	Overnutrition and undernutrition as modifiers of metabolic processes in disease states.
		Overnutrition and undernutrition as modifiers of metabolic processes in disease states.
		Both overnutrition and undernutrition affect energy metabolism, with overnutrition raising energy expenditure and undernutrition lowering it.
		In diseases such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis, whether energy expenditure is increased or decreased often depends on how advanced the disorder is. Early on, when the greater protein turnover characteristic of these conditions is paramount, energy expenditure is increased.

		Vitamin, mineral and nutrient deficiencies are rare in the U.S. today due to food fortification, but the challenge for the future will be to combat the problems of overnutrition with fat and calories.
		In order to understand the problems of obesity and overnutrition, it is important to realize that all food components can be interconverted and stored as fat when there are excess calories.
		For example, someone taking 500 mg per day of vitamin C has a different panel of metabolizing enzymes in their liver than someone taking only 20 mg per day of vitamin C. The interaction of the nutritional environment and the human body occurs at the molecular genetic, cellular, organ and whole body levels.

		Both conditions are caused by an imbalance between the body's need for and the intake of essential nutrients.
		Undernutrition, a deficiency of essential nutrients, can result from inadequate intake because of a poor diet or poor absorption from the intestine (malabsorption); abnormally high usage of nutrients by the body; or abnormal loss of nutrients through diarrhea, bleeding (hemorrhage), kidney failure, or excessive sweating.
		Overnutrition, an excess of essential nutrients, can result from overeating, excessive use of vitamins or other supplements, or underexercising.

		It seems plausible that those countries that have had traditionally high prevalences of undernutrition and stunting may be faced with a double burden of under- and overnutrition.
		Many countries that historically sought and used national and international funds to combat micronutrient deficiencies and undernutrition are now facing the coexistence of under- and overweight people among the lower-income sectors of society.
		The need for studies on the increasing prevalence of obesity in developing countries is greater now than ever before as more countries are reaching their development goals and more people are experiencing the nutrition and economic transition associated with development.

		Increased awareness of the hazards of under- and overnutrition has brought clinical nutrition to the fore during the last decade, as shown by the large number of publications produced on the subject.
		Although the report focuses on the responsibility of doctors for the nutritional care of patients, it should be read in the context of a multidisciplinary approach within both community and hospital settings.
		The report highlights the impact of undernutrition and overnutrition on disease processes, the influence of illness on nutrition, and the potential for nutritional intervention to contribute to disease management and prevention.

	Dietary and physical activity patterns of 8- to 10-year-old urban schoolchildren in Manila, Philippines.
		These differences agree with an earlier report on the nutritional status of the children as determined by anthropometry, which showed a higher proportion of overnutrition and a lower proportion of undernutrition among private schoolchildren than among public schoolchildren.
		Although the emphasis in public schools should be on prevention and control of undernutrition in children, private schools should begin to look at the emerging problem of overnutrition and the role of physical activity programs in the health of children.
		The information on the knowledge, attitudes, and preferences of the children and their parents showed that parents or guardians, teachers, and television influence the nutritional practices of schoolchildren.

		Good nutrition entails a situation whereby a variety of foods are eaten in the right proportions to supply the body with all the required nutrients, that is vitamins, minerals, proteins, cabohydrates, fibre and fats.
		This balance is important in order to ensure that the body does not get too little nutrients therefore resulting in undernutrition or too much nutrients which results in overnutrition and obesity.
		Malnutrition, a term generally used to refer to both under and overnutrition is a killer.

	IS GENDER AN ISSUE IN MALNUTRITION BY ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICES? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Considering the three anthropometric indices such as weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height, the respective distribution curves for boys and girls in the two age brackets, the 0-5 years and the 6-10 years, are shown as notably skewed to the left, indicating large proportion of undernutrition irregardless of sex while overnutrition is almost negligible.
		Again, overnutrition among the 6-10 years old is negligible for both sexes.
		Among adults, the nutritionally disadvantaged are the females who are highly affected with both chronic energy deficiency (CED) at 15.4% and overnutrition at 23.3%.

		Early postnatal overnutrition can precipitate excessive fat deposition and leptin resistance in a normally inconspicuous genotype, the heterozygous (+/fa) Zucker rat, whereas the same environmental impact has less severe consequences in wild-type (+/+) animals (data derived from Ref. 15).
		In Wistar rats, a strain without identified genetic lesion but known to be particularly prone to early environmental manipulations, rearing in small litters leads to lifelong increased growth and metabolic disturbances [data from Plagemann et al.
		Overnutrition was established by rearing in small litters (i.e., only 3–4 pups/litter) compared with normal litters (i.e., 10–12 pups/litter) from postnatal day 3 to 21.

		Reefs and reef fisheries have deteriorated here, largely as a result of sewer discharge: Less than 10 percent of Grenada's domestic waste is treated before disposal, causing eutrophication (overnutrition) that spurs the growth of algae, choking corals.
		Reefs and reef fisheries around this French isle have deteriorated; coastal mangroves have been depleted, and less than 10 percent of domestic waste is treated before disposal, causing eutrophication (overnutrition from sewage) and increased algal growth on reefs.
		As in most Caribbean territories, sewage is causing overnutrition of the algae that suffocate the reefs.

	MALNUTRITION
		In 1976, Jean Mayer classified malnutrition into four categories: overnutrition – consuming too many calories, dietary deficiency – micronutrient deficiency, secondary malnutrition –; inability to use food properly because of an illness and undernutrition – not consuming an adequate amount of food.
		Apart from overnutrition, these other three categories of malnutrition are dealt with everyday in developing countries.
		The extent of malnutrition throughout the world is difficult to estimate with a high degree of accuracy, because when malnourished individuals get sick or die it is usually from another intervening cause, such as acute respiratory illness, measles or diarrhea; the malnutrition is not recognized.

		In this study acute changes in energy balance during suckling period has been examined in two rat obesity models, which are known to induce an obese phenotype in the adult animal.
		In the first obesity model a postnatal overnutrition (PNO) has been induced by rearing pups in small litters of only 4 animals (small litter size) compared to pups reared under control conditions with 12 pups (normal litter size).
		Summarizing the results, this study shows that two totally different influences - postnatal overnutrition or a chemical teratogene - if administered in periods that are critical for developing organisms, can induce changes in energy metabolism and nutritional state of animals which may lead to a higher obesity susceptibility in adulthood.

	Malnutrition
		Malnutrition is a disparity between the amount of food and other nutrients that the body needs and the amount that it is receiving.
		Chronic overnutrition can lead to obesity and to metabolic syndrome, a set of risk factors characterized by abdominal obesity, a decreased ability to process glucose (insulin resistance), dyslipidemia (unhealthy lipid levels), and hypertension.
		Those with metabolic syndrome have been shown to be at a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
