Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies can occur when a person does not consume enough of the right nutrients, even if they eat enough total food. There are two main types of malnutrition: overnutrition, which is consuming more than what the body needs and can lead to obesity, and undernutrition, which is a lack of necessary nutrients and can cause deficiencies. Common micronutrient deficiencies include vitamin A deficiency, which can cause blindness; iron deficiency anemia; and iodine deficiency disorder, which can damage brain development. Consumption of nutrient-rich foods and iodized salt can help prevent deficiencies.

Deficiencies

11.  Regular consumption of
Vitamin A-rich foods,
such as animal
products, and orange
and yellow fruits, dark
green leafy vegetables,
and palm oil.
PREVENTION
 Primarily affects
children but the
affects last a
lifetime.
 It causes night
blindness and
later on
permanent
blindness.

Vitamin A
Deficiency

12.  Foods such as dark
green leafy vegetables,
legumes, and red meat
are rich in iron, as are
iron-fortified food
products.
PREVENTION
 Is a condition in
which the red
blood cell count or
hemoglobin is
less than normal.
 It affects mostly
adolescent girls,
women of child-
bearing age, and
pre-school
children.

Iron Deficiency
Anemia

13.  Iodine rich foods are
breads, iodized salt,
cheese, saltwater fish,
cow’s milk, seaweed,
eggs, shellfish, frozen
yogurt, soy milk, ice
cream and soy sauce.
PREVENTION
 Results from lack of
iodine in the diet.
Iodine is needed for
the production of
thyroid hormone. It
is one of the
prevalent causes of
developmental delay
and brain damage in
regions where little
iodine occurs
naturally in the diet.

Iodine Deficiency
Disorder

14.  Iodine Deficiency can lead to
enlargement of the thyroid or goiter,
hypothyroidism, and to mental
retardation in infants and children
whose mothers lacked iodine when
they were pregnant.
 It is the most common cause of
preventable mental retardation. I
severe cases it can lead to deaf-
mutism, and other serious disorders,
as well as reproductive impairment,
which results in miscarriage, stillbirth,
and birth defects.
