| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) in children is a leading public health problem in developing countries like India and is a direct or indirect cause of most of infant and child morbidity and mortality. It is a varied range of closely related pathological conditions arising from lack of proteins and calories. This affects the child at the most crucial period of time of development, which can lead to permanent impairment in later life. PEM is a critical problem with many determinants playing a role in causing this vicious cycle of undernutrition. Malnutrition is the outcome of many factors that include physical, social and cultural factors. All forms of PEM are associated with increased risk of infectious illnesses and cognitive deficit. In present study a survey of PEM cases with reference to their age, sex, socioeconomic status, complications and mortality has been carried out. It was observed that malnutrition was highly prevalent in lower socioeconomic groups. Maximum cases of malnutrition were seen below 3 years of age. Males predominated females in all the age groups. More children suffer from the burden of PEM. Risk factors like age, sex, socioeconomic status contribute greatly to develop PEM. |
