Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Young children in low-income families are at a high risk for malnutrition due to the lack of access to nutritious foods and resources. Unemployed teenagers and newly retired adults may face financial struggles, but they are not necessarily at a higher risk for malnutrition. Breast-fed infants generally receive adequate nutrition from their mothers' milk, although certain situations (e.g. if the mother is malnourished or not producing enough milk) can increase their risk for malnutrition.
