Malnutrition also refers to boosted nutrition.

The upsurged nourishment that is.

Which can lead to increase in the body Mass and weight.

Mass and weight are similar but different.

Mass is measured by beam balance.

Or the electronic balance.

Weight is calculated by using Mass.

Mass has got the SI Unit of Kg.

Kg is the abbreviation of Kilograms.

Weight's SI Unit is Newton.

Weight=Mass multiplied by Gravity.

On the surface of the earth, gravity is 10 or 9.8 m/s2.

m/s2 is meter per second square.

Mass remains constant throughout the multiverses.

Whereas weight changes with gravity changes.

Mass is the same on the earth and the space for instance.

Whereas weight is nill in the space due to zero gravity.

Increase in the weight and mass of a person can forbye spring due to Malnutrition of the stepped up variety.

That can lead to obesity.

The examinations-tests for that are:

Skin fold thickness.

Mid arm circumference.

Sullivan's Index.

Body Mass Index.

Weight for age.

Height for age.

Weight for height.

Serum and Urinary Electrolytes.

Liver Function Tests.

Lipid Profile.

Full Blood Count.

Renal Function Tests.

And others.

Obesity can give rise to these disorders:

Hypertension.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.

Coronary Artery Disease.

Osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis.

And others.

Coronary Artery Disease is also termed as Ischemic Heart Disease.

Bodily exercise.

Liposuction.

And

Dieting.

The medicine are viz.

Statins such as the Simvastatin, Atorvastatin, Pravastatin.

Gemfibrozil.

Fenofibrate.

Colestipol.

Cholestyramine.

Niacin.

Et cetera.

Physical exercise like mentioned is as well conducive for reducing mass and weight.

Typically it is the safest and quickest.

Liposuction can have adverse effects.
