INTRODUCTION
• Food is the prime necessity of life. • The food we eat is digested and assimilated in the body and used for its maintenance and growth.
• Food also provide energy for doing work.

NUTRITION
The process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth.

PROTEIN ENERGY MALNUTRITION (PEM)
• INTRODUCTION:- PEM major health and nutrition problem
in India as well as developing countries . Occurs particularly in weaklings and children in the first years of life.
Not only an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality , but leads to permanent impairment of physical and mental growth.
![Page 10: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conti….• Nearly one in five children's under age five
in the developing countries are underweight (WHO)
• One in every three malnourished children of the world lives in India.
• In India, around 43% of under five children were underweight (NFHS).
• Pre-school children are most vulnerable to the effect of protein energy malnutrition (PEM).

BURDEN OF MALNUTRITION
There are 170 million underweight children globally, 3 million of whom will die each year as a result of being underweight.

MALNUTRITION• (Bad Nourishment)
• A pathological state OR resulting from
Relative OR Absolute
Deficiency
Excess of
One OR More Essential Nutrients
![Page 23: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines malnutrition as
the cellular imbalance between
To ensure growth, maintenance, and specific functions
supply of nutrients & energy
and the body's demand for them
![Page 24: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
TYPES OF MALNUTRITION
• Marasmus• kwashiorkor • OBESITY
UNDERNUTRITION OVERNUTRITION
![Page 25: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
UNDERNUTRITION
ACUTE UNDERNUTRITION
CHRONIC UNDERNUTRITION
• Marasmus• kwashiorkor• Marasmic- kwashiorkor• Wasting
• Stunting• Underweight
![Page 26: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
UNDERNUTRITION
Is the result of food intake that is continuously insufficient to meet dietary energy requirements, poor absorption and/or poor biological use of nutrients consumed. This usually results in loss of body weight.
![Page 27: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WHY MORE COMMON IN CHILDREN…?
• High nutrient requirement/unit weight.• Dependence on adults for food • Immunity power
Water - Higher body water > older children Fat - Rapid increase in the 1st 6 months Growth - Rapid from birth till six months - Growth rate increase at puberty.

CONCEPTS OF DISEASE CAUSATION
1. Traditional Bio-medical concept Disease caused due to the presence of causative agents Basis in Germ theory of disease.
2. Socio- Epidemiological Concept Causative agents alone may/may not be sufficient for disease occurrence Social factors important in the disease causation & progression.
![Page 33: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
3. Politico- Developmental Concept Comprehensive approach, puts health in the context of politico-developmental situations Effects of government policies & outfalls of development on disease occurrence, Stems from the multi-factorial causation of disease.

Age group affected
Usually b/w 6 months to 3 years
• PEM (45%) = 1 to 2 years• PEM (69%) = 1 to 3 years
Marasmus = 6 months to 15 months
Kwashiorkor = 1 to 3 years

Etiology of PEM
PRIMARY PEMProtein + energy intakes below requirement for normal growth.
Linear growth ceases
SECONDARY PEM-the need for growth is greater than can be supplied.- decreased nutrient absorption- increase nutrient losses
Linear growth ceases
Static weight
Malnutrition and its signs
Weight loss
Wasting

KWASHIOKOR
• It is the body’s response to insufficient protein intake but usually sufficient calories for energy.
• The term kwashiorkor is taken from the Ga language of Ghana and means "the sickness of the weaning”.
• Williams first used the term in 1933, and it refers to an inadequate protein intake with reasonable caloric (energy) intake.
•KWASHIOKOR :-
![Page 41: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Kwashiorkor, also called protein-energy malnutrition, is a form of PEM characterized primarily by protein deficiency.
• This condition usually appears at the age of about 12 months when breastfeeding is discontinued, but it can develop at any time during a child's formative years.

MARASMUS• The term marasmus is derived from the
Greek word marasmos, which means ‘ wasting’.
• Marasmus is a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition characterized by energy deficiency.
![Page 47: Malnutrition (Nutritional Health Problems)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5881ba211a28abdd348b74f1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Primarily caused by energy deficiency, marasmus is characterized by stunted growth and wasting of muscle and tissue.
• Marasmus usually develops between the ages of six months and one year in children who have been weaned from breast milk or who suffer from weakening conditions like chronic diarrhea
