From that article:

Malnutrition is particularly common among older people, especially those who are ill, low-income, homebound, or without reliable access to healthy food or medical services

Notice how they keep referencing “healthy food”.

Starvation is not a lack of access to “healthy food”. Starvation is a lack of access to “any food”. Insufficient calories.

Starvation looks like this: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:460/1*CdO7eSjb3Qsn-MN16cbZ3w.jpeg

In this case that is a distinction without a difference. People are still dieing.
