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
- IAP classification
- NCHS (WHO) classification
- Waterlow's classification
- Wellcome's classification
The wellcome's classification is described here:
- Parameter: weight for age +/- edema
- Reference standard (50th percentile)
- Grades:
- 80-60% without edema is underweight
- 80-60% with edema is kwashiorkor
- <60% with edema is Marasmus-Kwashiorkor
- <60% without edema is Marasmus
