Answer:

 Protein Energy Malnutrition(PEM) is a deficiency of protein in the diet. It is caused when there is a lack of proteins,carbohydrates,and minerals.

Examples:

Kwashiorkar-  In Kwashiorkar, the legs become thin and the skin shows ugly patches.

Marasmus - In Marasmus, the child becomes so thin that the loose folds of skin can be seen all over the body.
