overnutrition noun[ U ] biology, medical specialized(alsoover-nutrition)uk /ˌəʊ.və.njuːˈtrɪʃ.ən/ us /ˌoʊ.vɚ.nuːˈtrɪʃ.ən/ the fact of eating too much, or too much of the wrong foods, with harmful effects on health: In countries undergoing rapid urbanization, health problems associated with undernutrition and overnutrition can coexist. Modern people eat so well and so much that over-nutrition is a far greater problem than hunger. With aging, the detrimental effects of overnutrition may diminish or even disappear. In previous generations, many of our health problems were related to under-nutrition; now the difficulty is over-nutrition. The very same food policies that have contributed to overnutrition in the developed world are now contributing to undernutrition in the developing world.
