There are different people who are more at risk of acquiring malnutrition. Those who live in the slums may become more malnourished because they do not have enough funds to purchase the nutritious food that their body should get. Even those who are stressed out all the time have a bigger chance of becoming malnourished as compared to those who are not too stressed out as the body will find it harder to absorb the nutrients from the food they eat.

Those who are stressed also have the tendency to consume junk food more often than healthy food. Some people with health conditions have a higher chance of becoming malnourished because the body is unable to distinguish the nutrients that are needed in order for the body to stay healthy.
