Pronunciation: [mˈɔːɹ ˌʌndənˈʌɹɪʃt] (IPA) 
Undernourishment refers to a state where an individual's body does not receive adequate nutrients to function properly. When referring to those who are more undernourished, one can use synonyms like malnourished, starved, emaciated, gaunt, wasted, frail, skeletal, or haggard. All these words indicate a state of severe nutritional deficiency, which can lead to a range of health problems, including stunted growth, increased susceptibility to infection, anemia, and fatigue. In many parts of the world, undernourishment remains a significant public health challenge, particularly among children and vulnerable populations. Fortunately, initiatives by governments, the private sector, and civil society have helped reduce the burden of undernourishment in recent years.
