Answer:
Protein-carbohydrate deficiency disease affects children aged 1 to 5.
Explanation:
- The deficiency of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats causes protein calorie malnutrition or protein energy malnutrition.
- The two major forms of this deficiency are kwashiorkor and marasmus.
- Kwashiorkor is caused by high protein deficiency in children at the age of 1-3.
- It is caused due to the premature termination of breastfeeding, as a result of which babies, instead of getting protein-rich breast milk, are fed other diets.
- In the same way, marasmus is also caused by insufficient breastfeeding that results in low protein and calories.
- The babies show a drop in body weight.
- They have weak muscles, thin faces, and sunken eyes.
