Globally, malnutrition is a major nutritional disorder, especially in developing economies.

Chapters address such topics as energy metabolism and balance, diagnosis of malnutrition, negative effects of malnutrition, sugar and its impact on health, malnutrition in the elderly and children, and much more.
