Risks of malnutrition The term<unk> " as used in the study of aging refers to dietary regimens that reduce<unk>  intake without incurring malnutrition. If a restricted diet is not designed to include essential nutrients, malnutrition may result in serious deleterious effects, as shown in the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. This study was conducted during World War II on a group of lean men, who restricted their<unk>  intake by 45% for six months and composed roughly 77% of their diet with carbohydrates. As expected, this malnutrition resulted in metabolic adaptations, such as decreased body fat, improved lipid profile, and decreased resting heart rate. The experiment also caused negative effects, such as anemia, edema, muscle wasting, weakness, dizziness, irritability, lethargy, and depression. Typical low-calorie diets may not supply sufficient nutrient intake that is typically included in a<unk>  diet. Side effects People losing weight during<unk>  risk developing side effects, such as cold sensitivity, menstrual irregularities, infertility, or hormonal changes.
