From the Paper:

"Malnutrition, as classified earlier, can be identified into two types or conditions: undernutrition or overnutrition. Undernutrition is a form of malnutrition wherein there is an undersupply of essential vitamins and minerals needed by the body, while overnutrition stems from an oversupply of certain nutrients and minerals in the body. Malnutrition is caused by various factors, which includes an individual's vulnerability to health disorders due to fragile physical health conditions and different lifestyles. The first category, wherein physical health conditions determine an individual's vulnerability to malnutrition, is aptly related to infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly."
