Malnutrition

4. Step 1
General Danger Signs
Check for General Danger Signs in all Children
General Danger Signs indicate severe disease
Presence of any one of the General Danger Signs
means that the child needs to be
referred / admitted to the emergency
5. Check for General Danger Signs
• Unable to drink or breastfeed
• Vomiting everything
• Lethargic or unconscious
• Convulsions
• General Danger Signs indicate severity of illness
• Not diagnostic but suggests acuity of situation
13. Nutritional status
Nutritional status is determined by balance of
Nutritional Intake and Nutritional Expenditure
NUTRITIONAL INTAKE NUTRITIONAL EXPENDITURE
NUTRITIONAL STATUS
14. What is Malnutrition ?
• Malnutrition is a Pathological State resulting from Deficiency of One or More
Essential Nutrients
• Protein – Calorie Malnutrition (PCM / PEM)
• Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM)
• Specific Micronutrient deficiency
- Vit A deficiency immunodeficiency
- Vit D deficiency Rickets
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Iodine deficiency goitre
15. Clinical Types of Malnutrition
Previous terminology
(clinical picture)
• Marasmus
• Kwashiorkor
• Marasmic Kwashiorkor
New terminology
(Weight, Height, MUAC measurements)
• Low weight
• Stunting
• Wasting
• MAM (moderate acute malnutrition)
• SAM (severe acute malnutrition)
19. Normal Anthropometric Measurements
• Weight – more than – 2 z-score
(> 80 % of mean or expected for age)
• Length / Height – more than – 2 z-score
(> 80 % of mean or expected for age)
• Mid arm circumference (MUAC) – 125 mm to 160 mm
(at 6 months to 5 years of age)
20. Clinical types of Malnutrition
• Underweight child – Weight for Age less than – 2 z-score
(< 80 % of mean or expected for age)
• Wasting – Low Weight for Height (indicates acute malnutrition)
• Stunting – Low Height for Age (indicates chronic malnutrition)

38. Assess and Classify Malnutrition
• Edema feet
• Weight for Height / Length (determine z-score as per chart or table)
• MUAC (age > 6 months)
• Medical complications (extensive infections, severe dehydration,
severe anemia, hypothermia / high fever, hypoglycemia, lethargy,
convulsions, severe vomiting
• Anorexia
39. No Acute Malnutrition
• Wt for Ht > - 2 z-score (> 80 % )
• MUAC > 125 mm
• Compliment the mother
• Give Feeding advice
• Micronutrients if needed
40. MAM - Moderate Acute Malnutrition
• Wt for Ht between – 3 and – 2 z-score (70 - 80 % )
• MUAC = 115 - 125 mm
• Assess the Child Feeding
• Give Feeding advice
• Micronutrients
41. SAM - Severe Acute Malnutrition
• Wt for Ht less than – 3 z-score (less than 70 % )
• MUAC = less than 115 mm
• Edema (nutritional cause)
• No Medical Complications
• No Anorexia - Able to feed adequately
• Assess the Child Feeding
• Give Feeding advice
• Micronutrients
• Give Therapeutic Feeds (RUTF)
42. Severe Acute Malnutrition with complications
• SAM + Medical complications (acute illness / poor appetite /
severe edema)
• Admit / Refer for Inpatient care
• Admit in Stabilization Centre (SC)
• Manage according to Guidelines
• Phase I (Stabilization)
• Phase II (Rehabilitation)
43. Principles in Management of Malnutrition
• Treat Acute complications - hypothermia, hypoglycemia, dehydration,
diarrhea, infection
• Adequate diet which the child can digest (150 – 200 calories / kg / day)
• Micronutrients ( Vitamin A )
• Growth monitoring (assess weight daily or weekly)
• Follow-up (monthly to prevent relapse)
44. Time frame for the management of
a child with severe malnutrition
Stabilization Rehabilitation
Days 1-2 Days 3-7 Weeks 2-6
1. Hypoglycaemia
2. Hypothermia
3. Dehydration
4. Electrolytes
5. Infection
6. Micronutrients no iron with iron
7. Initiate feeding
8. Catch up growth
9. Sensory stimulation
10. Prepare for follow-up

46. Therapeutic diets given in SAM
• Mother milk
• F – 75 diet (milk, sugar, vegetable oil, water) - 75 calories / 100ml
• F – 100 diet (milk, sugar, vegetable oil, water) - 100 calories / 100ml
• RUTF (Ready to use therapeutic food)
• Semisolid and solid home foods which the child can take easily (e.g.
blended egg, rice, banana, potato)

Composition of RUTF (supplied by Unicef)
• Peanuts (ground into a paste)
• Vegetable oil
• Powdered sugar
• Powdered milk
• Vitamin and mineral mix (special formula)
49. Recovery from SAM
• WEIGHT GAIN should be 5 – 10 gm / kg / day
• Child is considered to be recovered when
– 1 SD weight for length / height
(90 % of expected weight for length / height)
has been achieved
52. PREVENTION OF MALNUTRITION
• Nutrition education
• Adequate feeding and diet
• Growth monitoring
• Protection against infections
53. Adequate feeding and diet
• Breast feeding for 2 Yrs
• Weaning at 4 – 6 months
• Adequate diet for children
• Feeding during illness
54. Growth Monitoring
• Weigh the baby/ child every month upto five years of age
• Plot the weight on the Growth chart
• Ensure that the weight is increasing normally
55. Protection against Infections
• Vaccination
• Handwashing
• Use Masks
• Social distancing
• Breastfeeding
• Adequate Nutrition
• Micronutrients
• Safe water
• Clean food
