It is probably difficult in most cases to insulate denutrition
problems from malnutrition problems.

I hear that in spite of aggressive supplementation, those on a severe

performant in physical activities involving muscle power, have a lower
libido, and are less resilient to cold.

But this is still quite anedoctal...
