The Epidemiologic Study of Kwashiorkor : The Impact of Chronic Malnutrition on Child Development
Keywords:
Kwashiorkor, Malnutrition, Protein deficiencyAbstract
Nutritional science is the study of how organisms consume and process food and drink for nutrition and life. It examines the relationship between diet, health and disease and involves the study of nutrients, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and other bioactive compounds. Nutrition science also examines the impact of food on human health, including the prevention and treatment of disease, and the improvement of overall well-being. One of the many health problems that occur in the world is the problem of malnutrition, one of which is kwashiorkor. The purpose of this study was to determine the epidemiology of chronic malnutrition in child growth and development. The research method used a literature study. Kwashiorkor is a form of acute malnutrition caused by long-term protein deficiency. The condition is characterized by abdominal swelling, weight loss, and changes in the skin and hair. Kwashiorkor often occurs in children in developing countries due to limited access to healthy and nutritious food. Further research is recommended to broaden the sample scope and consider other factors that may affect nutritional status in populations with similar profiles
