Explanation:

• Malnutrition is a global issue influenced by systemic factors like poverty, conflict, and climate change that limit access to adequate food.
• Malnutrition encompasses both undernutrition (lack of essential nutrients) and overnutrition, so it involves insufficient essential nutrients.
• Malnutrition in pregnant women has long-term impacts on both the mother and fetus; calorie/micronutrient deficits are not easily corrected without sustained support and cause harm.
• Malnutrition affects both developing and developed nations, so it is not exclusive to the developing world.

Answer:

• Malnutrition is a global problem driven by factors such as poverty, conflict, and climate change.
• Malnutrition can involve the lack of essential nutrients.
