Hunger can cause:
Chronic hunger and malnutrition can cause significant health problems. People who go hungry all the time are likely to be underweight, weighing significantly less than an average person of their size. Their growth may also be stunted, making them much shorter than average. (Of course, people can also be underweight or short because of an illness or their genetic makeup.) Worldwide, as many as 27% of children younger than age 5 are underweight.
