Question

which health issue is associated with malnutrition caused by lack of nutrients?
normal development
physical and mental problems
heightened risk for diabetes
moderation of the stress hormone cortisol

Explanation:

Malnutrition from nutrient - lack disrupts bodily functions. Normal development needs nutrients. Diabetes risk is more linked to factors like insulin resistance (not just nutrient - lack in a general sense). Moderation of cortisol is a normal physiological process (not a health issue caused by malnutrition). Physical and mental problems (e.g., stunted growth, cognitive impairments) are common with malnutrition.

Answer:

physical and mental problems
