“…Protein energy malnutrition is a range of pathological conditions arising out of coincident of lack of protein and energy in varying proportions, most frequently seen in infants, and young children and usually associated with infections ( 55 ). It is understandable that the body needs extra energy to activate and replenish the body's immune system in response to an infection.…”

In nutrition science, malnutrition is a state of imbalance between intake and the needs of the organism, leading to metabolic changes, impaired physiological functions, and weight loss. Regardless of the countless efforts being taken and researched for years, the burden of malnutrition is still alarming and considered a significant agent of mortality across the globe. Around 45% of 12 million children deaths (0–5 years old) annually are due to malnutrition, mostly from developing countries. Malnutrition develops associations with other infections and leads to substantial clinical outcomes, such as mortality, more visits to hospitals, poor quality of life and physical frailty, and socioeconomic issues. Here, in this review, we intend to provide an overview of the current burden, underlying risk factors, and co-existence of malnutrition and other infections, such as cancer. Following the rising concern of the vicious interplay of malnutrition and other medical illnesses, we believed that this narrative review would highlight the need to re-make and re-define the future strategies by giving comprehensive and sustainable programs to alleviate poverty and combat the rampant infectious diseases and those nutrition-related health problems. Furthermore, the study also raises the concern for hospitalized malnourished cancer patients as it is crucially important to knowledge the caregiver healthcare staff for early interventions of providing nutritional support to delay or prevent the onset of malnutrition.

“…The severity of the ailment ranges from moderate to severe, depending on the form. Jee and others (2012) [12] . The three most prominent types of PEM are Kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition predominate), Marasmus, and Marasmic Kwashiorkor (major protein deficiency and strong calorie insufficiency signs present; occasionally referred to as the most severe form of malnutrition) (Ogunniyi, 2022) [21] .…”

Background: Malnutrition in form of protein energy malnourishment, is a range of pathological conditions arising from coincident lack of protein and/or energy in varying proportions which can results in muscle wasting and degeneration. Aim: The study is aimed to investigate the effects of defatted Moringa oleifera seed on skeletal muscle of Protein Energy Malnourished rats and to assess its effect on enzyme markers: AST, ALT, Total protein, Albumin, Ca 2+ ATPase and Na + /K + ATPase. Methods: 16 white albino rats of waster strain (Rattus novergicus) were initially divided into 'A' and 'B' groups; Group A rats served as positive control and was administered normal growers' feed while Group 'B' rats were administered with low protein-based diet to induce muscle wasting for 21 days. After the period of malnourishment, group B was further divided into 3 groups: C, D, E. Group C was sacrificed which served as negative control while group D and E were fed with recovery diet containing 20% M. oleifera based diet and 20% fish meal-based diet respectively for another 21 days. Results: Upon the introduction of recovery diet, the results show that there was an increase in the activities of ALT, AST, Na + /K + and Ca 2+ AT Pases as well as the total protein and albumin when compared with the control. Conclusion: M. oleifera leaf-based diet proves to be a sustainable replacement for food protein in the diet.

“…Undernourished children also have severe short-term (e.g., delayed cognitive development), medium-term (e.g., lower school achievement), and long-term implications (e.g., lower earnings and higher probability of adult non-communicable chronic diseases) (2). Child undernutrition is often a consequence of inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, iron, iodine, and zinc but also poor quality or insufficient proteins (3,4). The manifestations are low weight for height (or wasting) and low height for age (or stunting).…”
