Marasmus (Balanced Starvation)

Broadly implement nationwide fortification of community staples (like flour, oil, and salt) with critical micronutrients like iron, iodine, and vitamin A. Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt

Marasmus represents a balanced starvation where there is a severe deficiency in both total calories and protein. The body undergoes a state of extreme adaptation to preserve vital organ function.

PEM affects millions of children under five years of age globally, primarily across Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and parts of Latin America. Marasmus represents a balanced starvation where there is

Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) refers to a cluster of pathological conditions arising from a coincidental lack of varying proportions of protein and calorie intake. It occurs most frequently in infants and young children and is commonly associated with infections and infestations.
