What causes malnutrition?

Malnutrition happens when your body isn’t getting the right amount of nutrients that it needs to function properly. This can be a result of your diet but could also happen for medical or social reasons. Some of the most common causes of malnutrition include:

• Health conditions that affect appetite and how well nutrients are absorbed in the gut, e.g. Crohn’s disease
• Swallowing problems
• Social isolation or finding it difficult to move or prepare food
• Requiring extra energy, for example, in those with cystic fibrosis or those recovering from serious injuries or burns
• Eating disorders e.g. anorexia, bulimia
• Long-term conditions that cause lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea, e.g. cancer, liver disease
