The term malnutrition addresses 3 broad groups of conditions:
undernutrition, which includes wasting (low weight-for-height), stunting (low height-for-age) and underweight (low weight-for-age);
micronutrient-related malnutrition, which includes micronutrient deficiencies (a lack of important vitamins and minerals) or micronutrient excess; and
overweight, obesity and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers).
(...) Undernutrition makes children in particular much more vulnerable to disease and death.
Low weight-for-height is known as wasting. It usually indicates recent and severe weight loss, because a person has not had enough food to eat and/or they have had an infectious disease, such as diarrhoea, which has caused them to lose weight. (...) Overweight and obesity
Overweight and obesity is when a person is too heavy for his or her height. Abnormal or excessive fat accumulation can impair health.
Body mass index (BMI) is an index of weight-for-height commonly used to classify overweight and obesity.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Section IB of Packing Instruction 965 applies to lithium ion cells with a Watt-hour rating not exceeding 20 Wh and lithium ion batteries with a Watt-hour rating not exceeding 100 Wh packed in quantities that exceed the allowance permitted in Section II, Table 965-II.
1.2 Despite not being explicitly stated in Section IA text, paragraph 1 (Introduction) of Packing Instruction 965 establishes that Section IA applies to lithium ion cells with a Watt-hour rating in excess of 20 Wh and lithium ion batteries with a Watt-hour rating in excess of 100 Wh.
1.3 Considering that the weight limit for Section IB is 10 kg and for Section IA is 35 kg, it is possible to figure out that a package containing lithium ion batteries with a Watt-hour rating not exceeding 100 Wh but weighing more than 10 kg should be prepared in accordance with Section IA. However, the introductory text of Packing Instruction 965 does not allow this when it determines Section IA applies to lithium ion batteries with a Watt-hour rating in excess of 100 Wh.

1.4 The only way a shipper could comply with Packing Instruction 965 in the situation explained above would be through an exemption. There would be no sense in conducting an exemption process rather than shipping in accordance to Section IA though.
1.5 The same foregoing explanation is applicable to lithium metal cells and batteries prepared in accordance with Packing Instruction 968.
1.6 For this reason, we believe the introduction paragraph of Packing Instructions 965 and 968 should be change to reflect situations where the weight limits for Section IB have been exceeded.

To prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should:
Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight
Be physically active – doing at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate-intensity activity on most days. More activity is required for weight control
Eat a healthy diet, avoid refined sugar and saturated fats
Don't use tobacco. (...) Signs and symptoms may include:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Tiredness
Weight loss
Excessive hunger
Non-healing wounds
The health care provider will advise on healthy lifestyle interventions and /or medications based on blood glucose levels.

Overweight and obesity are defined as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health"
Body mass index (BMI) – the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m2) – is a commonly used index to classify overweight and obesity in adults. (...) For an individual, obesity is usually the result of an imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended
An increased consumption of energy dense foods, without an equal increase in physical activity, leads to an unhealthy increase in weight. Decreased levels of physical activity will also result in an energy imbalance and lead to weight gain.
(...) Increasingly, these influences are promoting unhealthy weight gain leading to a steady rise in the prevalence of childhood obesity.

Empirical equations are used for estimating EER. Weight, height and age data are included in the formulation of these equations. Increase in height or weight increases the EER irrespective of the work or learning environment. Increase in EER made people increase food intake, which in turn increased weight. This spiraling pattern of weight increase resulted in obesity, overweight and other non communicable diseases in the children as they become adults.
