Protein deficiency occurs in a child more than one year results in
(1) Marasmus
(2) Kawashiorkar
(3) Protemia
(4) Deficiency disorder
Fats under the skin, Extensive oedema and swelling of body parts. These are related to
(1) Marasmus
(2) Kawashiorkar
(3) Both
(4) Protemia
The replacement of mother's milk by high calorie and low protein diet in a child results in
(1) Marasmus
(2) Kawashiorkar
(3) Protemia
(4) Deficiency disorder
The common feature of Marasmus and Kawashiorkar are
(1) Wasting of muscles
(2) Failure of growth and brain development
(3) Thinning of limbs
(4) All of these
All the following conditions are observed in Marasmus, except
1. It is found in infants less than a year in age, if the mother's milk is replaced too early by other foods which are poor in both proteins and caloric value
2. The layer of fat beneath the skin disappears
3. Hands and other body parts show fluid accumulation (oedema) and swelling
4. Thinning of limbs and ribs become very prominent
Marasmus is not characterized by-
(1) Protein deficiency
(2) Impaired growth
(3) Replacement of tissue proteins
(4) Swelling of limbs
When breast feeding is replaced by less nutritive food low in proteins and calories; the infants below the age of one year are likely to suffer from
1. marasmus
2. rickets
3. kwashiorkor
4. pellagra
Kwashiorkor disease is due to:
1. | simultaneous deficiency of proteins and fats |
2. | simultaneous deficiency of proteins and calories |
3. | deficiency of carbohydrates |
4. | protein deficiency not accompanied by calorie deficiency |
Emaciation of the body, thinning of limbs, skin becomes dry, thin and wrinkled. The above symptoms are associated with-
(1) Marasmus
(2) Kwashiorkar
(3) Indigestion
(4) More than one option is correct
