Kwashiorkor and sarcopenic obesity: Two Sides Of The Same Coin?

Kwashiorkor is a form of protein energy malnutrition, while obesity usually occurs due to overnutrition. These syndromes, therefore, are considered to be poles apart. However, there are many similarities between the two conditions.

Background: Kwashiorkor is an often-fatal type of severe acute malnutrition affecting hundreds of thousands of children annually, but whose etiology is still unknown. Evidence suggests inadequate sulfur amino acid (SAA) status may explain many signs of the condition but studies evaluating dietary protein intake in relation to the genesis of kwashiorkor have been conflicting. We know of no studies of kwashiorkor that have measured dietary SAAs.

Introduction: Child malnutrition (undernutrition) and adult non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are major global public health problems. While convincing evidence links prenatal malnutrition with increased risk of NCDs, less is known about the long-term sequelae of malnutrition in childhood. We therefore examined evidence of associations between postnatal malnutrition, encompassing documented severe childhood malnutrition in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) or famine exposure, and later-life cardiometabolic NCDs.

Risk factors for mortality and management of children with complicated severe acute malnutrition at a tertiary referral hospital in Malawi.

August 2020
Department of Pediatrics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, USA.
Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a major cause of childhood mortality in resource-limited settings. The relationship between clinical factors and adherence to the 'WHO 10 Steps' and mortality in children with SAM is not fully understood.
Methods: Data from an ongoing prospective observational cohort study assessing admission characteristics, management patterns and clinical outcome in children aged 6-36 months admitted to a tertiary hospital in Malawi from September 2018 to September 2019 were analysed.
