Overview

Protein energy malnutrition may be classified according to the Gomez classification based on weight for age, or the Water low classification based on stunting and wasting or the Welcome classification based on the presence or absence of edema.

Classification

The three different classification of protein energy malnutrition is described below:[1][2]

Gomez classification

Grade of PEM Weigh for age (%)
Normal 90-100
Mild malnutrition, Grade I 75-89
Moderate malnutrition, Grade II 60-74
Severe malnutrition, Grade III Less than 60

Water low's classification

Grade of PEM Stunting

(low height for age)

Wasting

(low weight for height)

Normal 95 90
Mild malnutrition 87.5-95 80-90
Moderate malnutrition 80-87.5 70-80
Severe malnutrition Less than 80 Less than 70

Wellcome's classification

Weight for age With edema Without edema
60-80% Kwashiorkor Undernutrition
<60% Marasmic kwashiorkor Marasmus
