Detailed explanation-1: -Being very ill (being ill may make people unable to eat enough food because they have lost their appetite or because their body’s need for nutrients is greatly increased) Being young (infant, children, and adolescents are at risk of undernutrition because they are growing and thus need a lot of calories and nutrients)
Detailed explanation-2: -MUAC is a quick and simple way to determine whether or not a child is malnourished using a simple colored plastic strip. MUAC is suitable to use on children from the age of 12 months up to the age of 59 months. However, it can also be used for children over six months with length above 65 cm.
Detailed explanation-3: -The result of undernutrition is that growth slows and common childhood infections last longer and are more frequent and serious. Undernourished children are at high risk of permanently stunted growth and development (because they explore less and interact less with other people).
