<strong>Abstract</strong> <strong>Introduction: </strong>Malnutrition is a silent killer that is under reported, under addressed, and as a result under prioritized. It continues to be major cause of morbidity and mortality in children especially 6 months to 5 years old and is mainly because of deficiency or imbalance intake of macronutrient (carbohydrate, protein, and fat) or micronutrient (vitamins, minerals, and trace element). The spectrum varies from underweight, stunted, moderately acute malnutrition, and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). Severe acute malnutrition is a medical as well as s

Acute malnutrition is a nutritional deficiency resulting from either inadequate energy or protein intake. Children with primary acute malnutrition are common in developing countries as a result of inadequate food supply caused by social, economic, and environmental factors.

Acute malnutrition leads to biochemical changes based on metabolic, hormonal, and glucoregulatory mechanisms. Most children with primary acute malnutrition can be manag

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: Acute malnutrition is a major public health issue in low-income countries. It includes both wasting and edematous malnutrition, but the terms wasting and acute malnutrition are often used interchangeably. Little is known about the burden of edematous malnutrition, and few large-scale surveys measure it. Objective: Most acute malnutrition might be captured by the measurement of wasting alone, but this is unknown. This article aims to fill this gap. Design: This article presents a secondary data analysis of 852 nutrition cross-sectional survey data sets of children aged 6–59

Abstract:

<strong>Background:</strong> Severe Acute Malnutrition continues to be a significant public health issue globally, especially in low- and middle-income nations. It is a life-threatening condition that plays a major role in childhood illness and death. Children with SAM are at heightened risk of infections, developmental delays, and poor health out-comes. Haematological parameters are crucial in understanding the extent of anemia, immune function, and overall health status in malnourished children, therefore understanding the hematological profile of children with SAM is essential for earl
