@381dbcc7: Yes, malnutrition can also have significant effects on adults. In addition to the cognitive and memory issues I mentioned earlier, malnutrition can also lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. It can also weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and other illnesses.
