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 |
