In contrast to experimental malnutrition in animals, in which single nutrient deficiencies can be produced almost at will, human malnutrition is nearly always a mixture of abberations of different dietary constituents. Human PEM is in fact a mosaic of alterations in not only protein and energy nutriture, but in vitamin, mineral, and trace element balance as well. The problem is made even more complex by the impact of distinctive dietary intake patterns around the world, by the almost certain influence of genetics on cell function and response to stress of various kinds, and by the effect...
