                                According to the World Health Organization, malnutrition includes not only undernutrition but also overweight, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies. Understanding the full scope of this complex condition requires addressing the question: is malnutrition communicable or noncommunicable? The answer involves recognizing it as a noncommunicable disease with deep, interwoven links to infectious illnesses.
