Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
Malnutrition, which is often associated with the poor and rural population, is a malaise that has not spared even the well-to-do urban elites living in towns and cities. It is relevant to note that UNICEF defines malnutrition as 'a broad term commonly used as an alternative to under-nutrition but technically it also refers to over-nutrition' and the medical dictionary defines it as 'the condition that develops when the body doesn't get the right amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients it needs to maintain healthy tissues and other organs.' Going by these definitions, malnutrition is a major cause of concern in urban areas too. Given the lifestyle changes in both rural and urban populace, poor nutrition has become a common problem with insufficient, excessive or imbalanced consumption of nutrients, among both the poor and rich. In fact as per the National Family Health Survey, Andhra Pradesh is one of the top five states with highest obesity rates while studies from National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) have shown that urban kids from higher socio-economic strata suffer from obesity due to inadequate nutrition in their diet. Most of the major ailments that the urban populace suffers from are in some way connected to dietary habits and imbalanced intake of nutrition. Poor, imbalanced diet is to be blamed in at least 50 % of the cases for ailments among the urban populace including cardiac problems, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, etc. Here people consume a lot of rice, which is taken even at night besides oily and deep fried and junk food, high salt containing food such as pickle along with rice while fruits and salads are often given a miss. This leads to an imbalanced diet with excess intake of carbohydrate and fat while important nutrients such as fibre, proteins, vitamins and minerals are missing. Going through the dietary, lifestyle and medical history of clients, we have found that a lot them are suffering from obesity, underweight, anaemia, hair loss problems and osteoporosis. The growth among children is also imbalanced. Also, as many people work at night, they are not able to follow proper timings for food. They take a quick bite of junk food at their workplace due to which they don't get adequate nutrition and especially lack vitamins and minerals. They ultimately put on weight, suffer from acidity and gastric problems. For a healthy, balanced nutritious diet, one should maintain proper timings of food intake, abstain from high protein, carbohydrate and fatty foods during late night and should give preference to green and dark leafy vegetables and fibre contenting foods, fruits and salads besides drinking adequate water. They should opt for daily exercises such as jogging, cycling or swimming. In fact, the problem of poor nutrition is prevalent in urban areas across all sections be it the middle class or the urban slum dwellers. The urban middle class always tries to compromise on nutritious diet in order to save money to purchase luxury items. After interacting with mothers of some mal-nutritioned children in the city, we found that most of them have been saving to buy expensive household items by curtailing expenses on food and feeding children rice, pickle or curd rice and buttermilk daily. But such diet ultimately leads to health problems even if the children may be eating adequate quantity of rice. They would be suffering from lethargy, poor IQ and mental alertness.

(1) People are fast migrating from rural to urban areas that is the reason the problem of malnutrition has shifted to urban areas.
(2) In urban areas expenses exceed the income of people enabling them to spend enough on healthy food items.
