Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt [cracked] [FREE]

Comprehensive Overview of Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) represents a spectrum of biological disorders caused by a lack of dietary protein and/or energy (calories) in varying proportions. It is a major public health concern, particularly affecting children under five in developing nations. 1. Classification of PEM

Kwashiorkor (Edematous Malnutrition): This results primarily from a severe lack of protein, even if calorie intake is somewhat adequate. The most visible sign is swelling (edema), often in the belly or legs, along with hair and skin changes. Why It Happens Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt

Slide 11 — Complications

• Increased susceptibility to infections, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, cardiac failure, electrolyte disturbances (hypokalemia, hyponatremia), anemia, neurocognitive impairment, delayed recovery/growth

Dietary Factors: Early weaning, diluted formula, or a diet consisting solely of starchy staples. Dietary Factors: Early weaning, diluted formula, or a
