Clinical Information for Protein-calorie malnutrition of moderate and mild degree (E44)
Child Nutrition Disorders - Disorders caused by nutritional imbalance, either overnutrition or undernutrition, occurring in children ages 2 to 12 years.
Fetal Nutrition Disorders - Disorders caused by nutritional imbalance, either overnutrition or undernutrition, in the FETUS in utero.
Infant Nutrition Disorders - Disorders caused by nutritional imbalance, either overnutrition or undernutrition, occurring in infants ages 1 month to 24 months.
Malnutrition - An imbalanced nutritional status resulting from insufficient intake of nutrients to meet normal physiological requirement.
Protein-Energy Malnutrition - The lack of sufficient energy or protein to meet the body's metabolic demands, as a result of either an inadequate dietary intake of protein, intake of poor quality dietary protein, increased demands due to disease, or increased nutrient losses.
Severe Acute Malnutrition - Acute form of MALNUTRITION which usually affects children, characterized by a very low weight for height (below -3z scores of the median World Health Organization standards), visible severe wasting, or occurrence of nutritional EDEMA. It can be a direct or indirect cause of fatality in children suffering from DIARRHEA and PNEUMONIA. Do not confuse with starvation, a condition in which the body is not getting enough food, usually for extended periods of time.

Fetus - The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after CONCEPTION until BIRTH, as distinguished from the earlier EMBRYO, MAMMALIAN.
