Protein-Energy Undernutrition (PEU) - Nutrition - MSD Manuals

PEM remains a significant public health challenge, predominantly affecting low-income countries but also presenting in vulnerable populations in high-income nations. Malnutrition accounts for more than 50% of all infant mortality in developing countries, especially in the under-five age group.

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is a form of malnutrition that occurs when the body does not receive enough protein and energy from the diet. Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in the growth and maintenance of body tissues, while energy is necessary for the proper functioning of the body's cells. When the diet lacks sufficient protein and energy, the body begins to break down its own tissues to meet its energy needs, leading to a range of negative health consequences.
