Who can join

Adults 36 Months to 59 Months, any sex, with Kwashiorkor. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

This observational cross-sectional study is investigating if young children in populations with higher prevalence of kwashiorkor malnutrition have lower dietary sulfur amino acid intake than populations with lower prevalence of kwashiorkor, controlling for multiple potential confounding factors. Intake is estimated through diet recalls during interviews with a child's caregiver, analysis of urine samples and analysis of food samples for their amino acid profiles.
