Nutritional problems refer to conditions that arise when the body does not receive adequate, excessive, or properly balanced nutrients required for normal growth, development, and maintenance of health. Nutrition plays an important role in community health because poor dietary practices can increase illness, reduce productivity, affect child development, and contribute to maternal and infant health problems. One major nutritional problem is protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), which commonly affects infants and young children. Inadequate intake of calories and proteins may result in underweight, wasting, stunting, weakness, and delayed physical and mental development. Children may also have reduced immunity and become more vulnerable to infections. On the other hand, excessive consumption of energy-dense foods can lead to overweight and obesity, increasing the risk of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and other non-communicable diseases. Micronutrient deficiencies are another important nutritional problem. Iron deficiency can cause anaemia, resulting in tiredness, weakness, reduced work capacity, and impaired learning. Vitamin A deficiency may affect vision and immunity, while iodine deficiency can cause thyroid enlargement and problems in mental development. Deficiencies of calcium, vitamin D, folate, and other nutrients can also affect bone health, blood formation, pregnancy outcomes, and overall development. Nutritional problems may be caused by poverty, food insecurity,
