The former is mainly due to calorie deficiency. The main reason is the lack of protein, the two are not the same, there are crossovers and certain similarities, because when nutrition is lacking, the total calories and various nutrients are often not fully supplied, and the current clinical malnutrition mainly based on energy deficiency For the third degree, the severe cases are called wasting; and the performance of protein deficiency is mostly malnutrition edema.
