Protein energy malnutrition may result in

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) refers to a spectrum of nutritional deficiencies primarily involving protein and energy intake. 
Option a: 'Marasmus' is a classic form of PEM characterized by severe wasting due to chronic energy deficiency, so this is a correct association. 
Option b: 'Haemochromatosis' is a genetic disorder of iron metabolism leading to iron overload; it is not caused by PEM and is not a consequence of protein-energy deficiency, so this is incorrect. 
Option c: 'Thalassemia' is a hereditary blood disorder affecting hemoglobin synthesis; it is unrelated to PEM, thus incorrect. 
Option d: 'All of the above' would only be true if all listed conditions were consequences of PEM, which they are not, making this option false. 
In summary, PEM most directly leads to marasmus among the choices, while haemochromatosis and thalassemia are separate medical conditions unrelated to PEM.
