Marasmus and kwashiorkor are two forms of severe malnutrition primarily caused by protein and calorie deficiencies. Marasmus is characterized by extreme weight loss, muscle wasting, and a general lack of energy due to insufficient caloric intake. In contrast, kwashiorkor occurs mainly in children who have an adequate caloric intake but insufficient protein, leading to symptoms such as edema, an enlarged liver, and skin changes. Both conditions are critical health issues, particularly in developing countries, and require prompt medical intervention.
