Retarded development following protein-energy malnutrition - what does this mean
Protein-energy malnutrition occurs when the body does not receive enough protein and energy from the diet, leading to a deficiency in essential nutrients and a decrease in growth and development. this can lead to a condition called retarded development, which is characterized by a decrease in physical and cognitive development.
What happens during the disease - retarded development following protein-energy malnutrition
Protein-energy malnutrition (pem) is a condition caused by an inadequate intake of proteins, calories, and other essential nutrients. this can lead to retarded development due to a lack of the necessary building blocks for growth and development, as well as a lack of energy to support metabolic processes. additionally, pem can lead to an impaired immune system, which can further inhibit development.

Retarded development following protein-energy malnutrition - Prevention
The prevention of retarded development following protein-energy malnutrition can be achieved through proper nutrition, including adequate amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. eating a balanced diet with a variety of foods from all food groups, as well as regular physical activity, can help ensure that children get the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. additionally, providing access to clean water and access to healthcare can help children receive the necessary medical care to prevent malnutrition and its associated complications.
