2) Anemia
3) Obesity
4) Diabetes

Answer 1

Malnutrition is the inadequate amounts of food over long periods of time which cause muscular deterioration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malnutrition refers to the inadequate amounts of food over long periods of time which cause muscular deterioration. It does not distinguish between the consequences of too many nutrients or the lack of nutrients, both of which impair overall health. Undernutrition is characterized by a lack of nutrients and insufficient energy supply, whereas overnutrition is characterized by excessive nutrient and energy intake, which can result in obesity. Therefore, the correct answer is 1) Malnutrition.
