I hereby certify that the work embodied in this report is the result of original research and has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other university or institution. Background of study includes theories, concepts, terms and ideas about a topic or question. A brief definition of the independent and dependent variables is included in the definition of terms.
According to the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology (ISGE) (2018), Malaysia is one of the developing countries on the list, but it is a temperate country with undernourished people. There are still malnourished children in Malaysia and the country will only be able to meet one of the ten global nutrition targets by 2025. According to Momina Abid (2018), the findings of the study show a strong positive association between malnutrition and psychological distress, as well as a significant impact of malnutrition on psychological distress.
Moreover, one of the reasons for malnutrition among students is lack of awareness about a balanced and nutritious diet among students from rural areas.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
This is due to the fact that the alert region in Malaysia had a higher proportion of malnourished children than the national rate. That's because previous study findings revealed that breakfast-skipping behaviors are linked to food deprivation. This is because some students will save money by dieting and not eating enough.
However, the students could not afford these items and include them in a regular diet due to the difficult financial situation in their respective homes, which in turn resulted in them having juicy yet cheap street food, which degrades the nutritional quality of the diet. has. consumption (Hadaye, Rujuta, Barsha and Sujata, 2019). The purpose of this study is to investigate what causes malnutrition among University Malaysia Kelantan City campus students. Overweight people are more likely to suffer from psychological stress, such as sadness, anxiety and low social output.

- SUMMARY
The effect of unhealthy diet can be seen through the changes of the student's body shape, because there will be a lot of changes in the student's body, neither thin nor fat. Today, the issue of food insecurity is very important to the university students who are produced from the factory and play an important role in making the public feel safe to eat the food. Whereas, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the limitations or uncertainty of adequate and safe nutritional foods, or the limited or uncertain ability to obtain acceptable food in a socially acceptable manner.
Research on college food insecurity often argues that college students' experiences with food poverty differ from those of the broader community. If this is the case, it is critical that we assess food insecurity in a way that encompasses these diverse experiences, or at least allows researchers to take comparable measures of food insecurity. Food insecurity includes situations of food acquisition difficulties, poor diet quality and disrupted eating patterns resulting from a lack of resources (Coleman-Jensen A, 2020).
Food insecurity affects caloric intake and diet quality, as well as other aspects of an individual's overall well-being (Gundersen, 2018). Food security, according to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), implies having physical and economic access to enough food to meet dietary needs for a productive and healthy life at all times. Food insecurity is often linked to poverty in both the United States and developing countries.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), about 14.7 percent of American families are either low or very food insecure. Many people lack the financial means to meet basic needs, putting their families at risk of an unreliable food supply. Despite the fact that food insecurity is directly related to poverty, not everyone who lives below the poverty line suffers from it, but people who live above the poverty line can too.
Food insecurity does not exist in a vacuum, as low-income families face a host of barriers, including a lack of affordable housing, social isolation, economic/social disadvantage due to systemic racism, chronic or acute health conditions, high medical costs, and poor wages. First, we found that loss of appetite is one of the factors of malnutrition among students.
