Abstract

The paper focused on nutrition research and the common facing problem of health as malnutrition to the community from a human health perspective and to the immune system. This focus has served to unite ‘food-facing’ and ‘health-facing’ aspects which have been treated as a continuum. The aim was to ensure that all relevant sectors were adequately supported to carry out relevant to malnutrition health issue to cause effects with immune system. Malnutrition may be a consequence of energy deficit or micronutrient deficiency. It is considered the most relevant risk factor for illness and death, particularly in developing countries. We described the magnitude of this problem, as well as its direct effect on the immune system and how it results in higher susceptibility to infections. A special emphasis was given to experimental models used to investigate the relationship between undernutrition and immunity. Malnutrition is obviously a challenge that must be addressed to health authorities and the scientific community.
