Malnutrition can develop because of lower nutrition intake, which is known as undernutrition, or because of excess nutrient intake, which is called overnutrition. Primary malnutrition is caused by inadequate dietary intake. Secondary malnutrition is developed because of a person’s characteristics despite normally adequate dietary intake. For example, intrinsic factor facilitates absorption of vitamin B12 from the intestines. Some disorders that damage the gastric mucosa, such as atrophic gastritis, cause a decrease in the production and secretion of the intrinsic factor. This leads to lower absorption of vitamin B12, despite its sufficient intake through the food.
