    Background:

    • The prevailing view suggests many malnourished individuals do not present a primary medical issue.
    • Malnutrition is increasingly recognized as a consequence of broader societal factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reframe the understanding of malnutrition as a socio-economic disease.
    • To advocate for societal responsibility in addressing malnutrition.
    • To propose a model for co-ordinated intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of malnutrition's root causes.
    • Literature review on socio-economic determinants of health.
    • Framework development for interdisciplinary intervention.

    Main Results:

    • The majority of malnutrition cases stem from socio-economic conditions, not direct medical pathology.
    • Effective solutions necessitate economic and organizational reforms at a societal level.

    Conclusions:

    • Malnutrition requires a societal cure, focusing on economic and organizational changes.
    • Medical personnel with a specific interest can play a key role in co-ordinating these efforts.
