Slide 1-

PROTEIN ENERGY MALNUTRITION Abdelaziz Elamin MD, PhD, FRCPCH Professor of Child Health College of Medicine Sultan Qaboos University Muscat, Oman
Slide 2-

HUMAN NUTRITION Nutrients are substances that are crucial for human life, growth & well-being. Macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins & water) are needed for energy and cell multiplication & repair. Micronutrients are trace elements & vitamins, which are essential for metabolic processes.
Slide 3-

HUMAN NUTRITION/2 Obesity & under-nutrition are the 2 ends of the spectrum of malnutrition. A healthy diet provides a balanced nutrients that satisfy the metabolic needs of the body without excess or shortage. Dietary requirements of children vary according to age, sex & development.
Slide 4-

Assessment of Nutritional Status Direct Clinical Anthropometric Dietary Laboratory Indirect Health statistics Ecological variables
Slide 5-

Clinical Assessment Useful in severe forms of PEM Based on thorough physical examination for features of PEM & vitamin deficiencies. Focuses on skin, eye, hair, mouth & bones. Chronic illnesses & goiter to be excluded
Slide 6-

Clinical Assessment/2 ADVANTAGES Fast & Easy to perform Inexpensive Non-invasive LIMITATIONS Did not detect early cases Trained staff needed
Slide 7-

ANTHROPOMETRY Objective with high specificity & sensitivity Measuring Ht, Wt, MAC, HC, skin fold thickness, waist & hip ratio & BMI Reading are numerical & gradable on standard growth charts Non-expensive & need minimal training
Slide 8-

ANTHROPOMETRY/2 LIMITATIONS Inter-observers’ errors in measurement Limited nutritional diagnosis Problems with reference standards Arbitrary statistical cut-off levels for abnormality
Slide 9-

LAB ASSESSMENT Biochemical Serum proteins, creatinine/hydroxyproline Hematological CBC, iron, vitamin levels Microbiology Parasites/infection
Slide 10-

DIETARY ASSESSMENT Breast & complementary feeding details 24 hr dietary recall Home visits Calculation of protein & Calorie content of children foods. Feeding technique & food habits

OVERVIEW OF PEM The majority of world’s children live in developing countries Lack of food & clean water, poor sanitation, infection & social unrest lead to LBW & PEM Malnutrition is implicated in >50% of deaths of <5 children (5 million/yr)
Slide 13-

CHILD MORTALITY The major contributing factors are: Diarrhea 20% ARI 20% Perinatal causes 18% Measles 07% Malaria 05% 55% of the total have malnutrition

EPIDEMIOLOGY The term protein energy malnutrition has been adopted by WHO in 1976. Highly prevalent in developing countries among <5 children; severe forms 1-10% & underweight 20-40%. All children with PEM have micronutrient deficiency.

Slide 17-

PEM In 2000 WHO estimated that 32% of <5 children in developing countries are underweight (182 million). 78% of these children live in South-east Asia & 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa. The reciprocal interaction between PEM & infection is the major cause of death & morbidity in young children.

PEM in Sub-Saharan Africa PEM in Africa is related to: The high birth rate Subsistence farming Overused soil, draught & desertification Pets & diseases destroy crops Poverty Low protein diet Political instability (war & displacement)
Slide 22-

PRECIPITATING FACTORS LACK OF FOOD (famine, poverty) INADEQUATE BREAST FEEDING WRONG CONCEPTS ABOUT NUTRITION DIARRHOEA & MALABSORPTION INFECTIONS (worms, measles, T.B)
Slide 23-

CLASSIFICATION A. CLINICAL ( WELLCOME ) Parameter: weight for age + oedema Reference tandard (50th percentile) Grades: 80-60 % without oedema is under weight 80-60% with oedema is Kwashiorkor < 60 % with oedema is Marasmus-Kwash < 60 % without oedema is Marasmus
Slide 24-

CLASSIFICATION (2) B. COMMUNITY (GOMEZ) Parameter: weight for age Reference standard (50th percentile) WHO chart Grades: I (Mild) : 90-70 II (Moderate): 70-60 III (Severe) : < 60
Slide 25-

ADVANTAGES SIMPLICITY (no lab tests needed) REPRODUCIBILITY COMPARABILITY ANTHROPOMETRY+CLINICAL SIGN USED FOR ASSESSMENT
Slide 26-

DISADVANTAGES AGE MAY NOT BE KNOWN HEIGHT NOT CONSIDERED CROSS SECTIONAL CAN’T TELL ABOUT CHRONICITY WHO STANDARDS MAY NOT REPRESENT LOCAL COMMUNITY STANDARD
Slide 27-

KWASHIORKOR Cecilly Williams, a British nurse, had introduced the word Kwashiorkor to the medical literature in 1933. The word is taken from the Ga language in Ghana & used to describe the sickness of weaning.
Slide 28-

ETIOLOGY Kwashiorkor can occur in infancy but its maximal incidence is in the 2nd yr of life following abrupt weaning. Kwashiorkor is not only dietary in origin. Infective, psycho-socical, and cultural factors are also operative.
Slide 29-

ETIOLOGY (2) Kwashiorkor is an example of lack of physiological adaptation to unbalanced deficiency where the body utilized proteins and conserve S/C fat. One theory says Kwash is a result of liver insult with hypoproteinemia and oedema. Food toxins like aflatoxins have been suggested as precipitating factors.
Slide 30-

CLINICAL PRESENTATION Kwash is characterized by certain constant features in addition to a variable spectrum of symptoms and signs. Clinical presentation is affected by: The degree of deficiency The duration of deficiency The speed of onset The age at onset Presence of conditioning factors Genetic factors
Slide 31-

CONSTANT FEATURES OF KWASH OEDEMA PSYCHOMOTOR CHANGES GROWTH RETARDATION MUSCLE WASTING

USUALLY PRESENT SIGNS MOON FACE HAIR CHANGES SKIN DEPIGMENTATION ANAEMIA

OCCASIONALLY PRESENT SIGNS HEPATOMEGALY FLAKY PAINT DERMATITIS CARDIOMYOPATHY & FAILURE DEHYDRATION (Diarrh. & Vomiting) SIGNS OF VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES SIGNS OF INFECTIONS

MARASMUS The term marasmus is derived from the Greek marasmos, which means wasting. Marasmus involves inadequate intake of protein and calories and is characterized by emaciation. Marasmus represents the end result of starvation where both proteins and calories are deficient.
Slide 37-

MARASMUS/2 Marasmus represents an adaptive response to starvation, whereas kwashiorkor represents a maladaptive response to starvation In Marasmus the body utilizes all fat stores before using muscles.
Slide 38-

EPIDEMIOLOGY & ETIOLOGY Seen most commonly in the first year of life due to lack of breast feeding and the use of dilute animal milk. Poverty or famine and diarrhoea are the usual precipitating factors Ignorance & poor maternal nutrition are also contributory
Slide 39-

Clinical Features of Marasmus Severe wasting of muscle & s/c fats Severe growth retardation Child looks older than his age No edema or hair changes Alert but miserable Hungry Diarrhoea & Dehydration

CLINICAL ASSESSMENT Interrogation & physical exam including detailed dietary history. Anthropometric measurements Team approach with involvement of dieticians, social workers & community support groups.
Slide 43-

Investigations for PEM Full blood counts Blood glucose profile Septic screening Stool & urine for parasites & germs Electrolytes, Ca, Ph & ALP, serum proteins CXR & Mantoux test Exclude HIV & malabsorption
Slide 44-

NON-ROUTINE TESTS Hair analysis Skin biopsy Urinary creatinine over proline ratio Measurement of trace elements levels, iron, zinc & iodine
Slide 45-

Complications of P.E.M Hypoglycemia Hypothermia Hypokalemia Hyponatremia Heart failure Dehydration & shock Infections (bacterial, viral & thrush)
Slide 46-

TREATMENT Correction of water & electrolyte imbalance Treat infection & worm infestations Dietary support: 3-4 g protein & 200 Cal /kg body wt/day + vitamins & minerals Prevention of hypothermia Counsel parents & plan future care including immunization & diet supplements
Slide 47-

KEY POINT FEEDING Continue breast feeding Add frequent small feeds Use liquid diet Give vitamin A & folic acid on admission With diarrhea use lactose-free or soya bean formula
Slide 48-

PROGNOSIS Kwash & Marasmus-Kwash have greater risk of morbidity & mortality compared to Marasmus and under weight Early detection & adequate treatment are associated with good outcome Late ill-effects on IQ, behavior & cognitive functions are doubtful and not proven
