Abstract

PURPOSE: Malnutrition remains a critical public health issue in low-income countries, significantly hindering economic development and contributing to over 50% of infant deaths. Under nutrition weakens immune systems, increasing susceptibility to common illnesses and prolonging recovery periods. This study aims to develop and evaluate a novel artificial intelligence-based classification method for nutritional status assessment using hybrid machine learning strategies, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of malnutrition detection.
