Abstract

Early childhood malnutrition can have lasting effects on growth and functional status. The inadequate energy and protein intake leads to malnutrition in the form of wasting, stunting and underweight. The prevalence of Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) in Asia is highest in the world. The surveillance of large population of the region imply that more than half of all malnourished children in the world are found in this region.
