All forms of malnutrition are more common in children. There are three main reasons for this that I can think of; Children have smaller body stores so periods of malnutrition affect them more than an adult. Children have a higher metabolism than adults so they need more calories per unit of body mass. And with malnutrition many of the children die before they become adults, so only the relatively well fed ones even make it to adulthood.
