Question

anyone know the two types of malnutrition and what the differences are??

Answer 1

Marasmus and Kwashiorkor
Look at the simple reviews in Wiki below to differentiate.
I can never remember the differences, so I always look them up.

This from the first source :
"Marasmus occurrence increases prior to age 1 whereas Kwashiorkor occurrence increases after 18 months."

You could try other sites for these topics for more extensive info if needed.
