Relationship between nutrition and
health
Figure 1.2 shows that individuals can
be broadly categorized into having optimal nutritional status or being
undernourished, overnourished, or malnourished. The major causes and
consequences of these nutritional states are indicated. It is important to
realize that many other lifestyle and environmental factors, in addition to
nutrition, influence health and well-being, but nutrition is a major,
modifiable, and powerful factor in promoting health, preventing and treating
disease, and improving quality of life.
