Unter Malassimilation – von lateinisch malus (schlecht, schädlich, böse) und assimilare (angleichen, ähnlich machen) – wird eine beeinträchtigte, das heißt verminderte Nährstoffausnutzung aufgrund unterschiedlichster Störungen im Verdauungstrakt bezeichnet. Damit handelt es sich um einen Oberbegriff für die „Maldigestion“ und „Malabsorption“.
