Performance of Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) in Detection of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), in Young Infants Aged 1 to 6 Months

Clinical Pediatrics
Infants are more vulnerable to malnutrition as compared with older children. Prevalence of severe wasting in Indian infants under 6 months of age (U6M) is 14.8% (National Family Health Survey 4, 2015-2016). Weight for length z-score (WLZ) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) are 2 anthropometric parameters for detecting severe acute malnutrition (SAM)
