What is Management of Protein Energy Malnutrition about?

PEU results from inadequate protein and energy intake. It ranges from mild weight loss to severe forms like marasmus (wasting) or kwashiorkor (edema). In Ethiopia, 40% of children are stunted and 9% wasted. PEM develops gradually, allowing the body to adapt through reduced activity and metabolic changes. Assessment involves history, exam, anthropometry, and biochemical tests. Classification considers weight for age and presence of edema.
