X53: Lack of food

Lack of food, clinically referred to as malnutrition, is a serious health condition that occurs when a person's diet does not provide the necessary amount of nutritional elements essential for growth, maintenance, and specific functions of the body. This condition can be caused by inadequate consumption of proteins, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients or by an inability of the body to absorb these nutrients from food. Common symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness, rapid weight loss, weakened immune system, and cognitive impairments. Without timely intervention, the condition could lead to severe health complications such as stunted growth in children, compromised organ function, and increased susceptibility to other illnesses. The digestive, immune, and nervous systems are most commonly affected by this condition. It's worth noting that malnutrition can affect anyone but is particularly prevalent in circumstances of extreme poverty or as a result of severe illnesses or disorders affecting dietary intake or nutrient absorption.
