What are the symptoms of chronic malnutrition

Long-term malnutrition has long-term undernutrition and long-term overnutrition, and there are certain differences between the two symptoms.

1. Long-term undernutrition

is divided into primary and secondary undernutrition. Primary undernutrition mainly refers to insufficient nutrition intake. Secondary undernutrition refers to undernutrition caused by nutrient absorption, utilization disorders or excessive nutrient consumption. Long-term undernutrition can lead to excessive fat consumption, protein deficiency, vitamin deficiency and other conditions, resulting in weight loss, reduced skin elasticity, skin relaxation, edema, listlessness, muscle atrophy, anemia and other symptoms.

2. Long-term overnutrition

refers to the phenomenon that the body absorbs more energy than the body needs, resulting in energy reserves in the body. This phenomenon can cause systemic diseases. For example, obesity, which can lead to body fat accumulation, causes obesity symptoms. Excessive nutrients can not be metabolized in time to cause a variety of endocrine metabolic disorders symptoms, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuric acid and other symptoms.
