Due to the fact, I am underweight according to the BMI classification. I had suffered from severe iron deficiency and this led to headache, lack of concentration, and dizziness. Which here I am undernutrition. However, I treated the iron deficiency by taking supplements to increase my hemoglobin and to prevent further health issues. Therefore, from my experience I have learned that I should take care of myself and have an adequate intake of nutrients to fulfill my body requirements and to have full composition growth.

An example from the local context: my beloved country the UAE is one of countries that fight against malnutrition. The Crown Prince of Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid, had announced a campaign for 100 million meals, and it ended successfully by providing over 216 million meals to poor countries (Jacobs, 2021). Moreover, As claimed by The Official Portal of the UAE Government (2022), the UAE developed a strategy called National Food Security Strategy 2051, which fights against malnutrition problem that seeks in achieving zero hunger by assuring access to safe, nutritious, and adequate food worldwide. Another example, The Dubai Cares (2012) had implanted a program in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mali, Sudan, and Yemen that prevented malnutrition as well as focusing on enrolling children to continue their primary education schooling. The program focuses on letting parents be encouraged to send their children to the primary school program to receive both benefits of nutritious meals and gaining knowledge.

The significance of malnutrition in my major since I am a public health and nutrition student. Schneyder (2014) mentioned that as nutritionists and dieticians, our role is to limit and reduce the malnutrition problem. The first step in decreasing malnutrition is to know who is at risk the most whether adolescents, adults, pregnant women, or elderly. At this stage we can spread awareness on how those can take care of their food intake while balancing is the key. In addition, a lot of people are sleeping in hospitals because of malnutrition. Therefore, it is important in my major to understand the concept of malnutrition and how it affects both developing and developed countries negatively and to take the right action. By doing screening and assessment tools which are a regular check up of the Body Mass Index (BMI), nutritional interview, laboratory test to check the micronutrient in the body, and psychological test to see if the patient suffers from an eating disorder (Schneyder, 2014). Furthermore, the environmental and socioeconomic factors play a huge role in malnutrition because when a person is suffering from an acute disease as a consequence of malnutrition this leads to increasing health care insurance which unfortunately in developing countries, they have poor or even no health care insurance. In contrast, in developed countries they have health care insurance, but the country will suffer in paying more to the hospital and it will affect the country's productivity. Malnutrition is a major problem both in a medical and economic perspective therefore understanding the risk factors of it and preventing it with appropriate treatment will help in achieving less cots and increasing the productivity; this is why the malnutrition is an extremely significant term in my major.

Malnutrition leads to obesity thus happens when there is excess amount of energy consumption. However, developed countries also have the malnutrition problem but overnutrition. The reason why they suffer from malnutrition is because of the access to high calories dense foods everywhere. The calories dense foods are foods that are high in calories which lack nutrients that the body needs for growth, and eating more than what is needed.

The main significant cause of undernutrition malnutrition is poverty (Muller & Krawinkel, 2005). Undoubtedly, developing countries are having a high rate of malnutrition (undernutrition) since they don’t have the ability to provide the necessities (food). According to Muller and Krawinkel (2005), malnutrition in developing countries such as Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are a major public health problem. Due to the fact, they are not just suffering from lacking food, but also other factors for instance: water hygiene, sanitation, environment conditions, politic, and economic circumstances.

Poor diet is the insufficient amount of whole grains, fruits, protein, and vegetables which on the other side is also the excess amount of eating food that have added sugars. Furthermore, a poor diet is of a person eating an excess of high calories dense foods which are foods high in calories and absences of nutrients. Examples of high calories dense foods are: french fries, pastries, soda drinks, etc.

Mathur and Pillai (2019) describes that overnutrition is the opposite of undernutrition, and it is a type of malnutrition. It is when the person takes an excess amount of nutrients that the body enables to function properly, which leads to severe obesity, overweight, chronic diseases, and acute diseases.

According to Kellett et. (2016) “Malnutrition has been defined by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition as cited in Mueller et al. [9] as “an acute, subacute or chronic state of nutrition, in which varying degrees of overnutrition or undernutrition with or without inflammatory activity have led to a change in body composition and diminished function.”

Schneyder (2014) states that “The British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) defines malnutrition as follows: Malnutrition is a state of nutrition in which a deficiency or excess (or imbalance) of energy, protein and other nutrients causes measurable adverse effects on tissue/ body form (body shape, size, and composition) and function and clinical outcome.”
