Problems of under-nutrition include growth failure, inadequate cognitive and social development diarrhea, infections, lower immunity (decreased cell mediated immunity) chronic illnesses and specific micronutrient deficiencies. Poverty, food insecurity, low education level, lack of control of their time and resources are main causes of under-nutrition.(8)
