Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants and young children as well as pregnant and lactating women are the most vulnerable members of the family to undernutrition. Infants and young children require a substantial amount of nutrients for growth and development, and pregnant and lactating women have increased nutritional needs to support proper fetal growth and milk production. The elderly are also at risk for undernutrition, but they may not be the first to show signs within the family unit.
