Malnutrition is a condition in which a lack of nutrients in the body causes health problems. This is most often the result of a very poor diet that doesn't contain all the vitamins and nutrients needed for the body to function properly. Marasmus is one form of malnutrition.

When a child doesn't get the right nutrients, their bodies have difficulty going through normal motions like growing or fighting disease. These difficulties can then lead to more serious health problems.
