(SAGE) Kwashiorkor, one of the most extreme forms of malnutrition, is estimated to affect more than a hundred thousand children annually.

Researchers have recently attempted to increase its recognition by conducting a global study of more than 1.7 million children, but a new study published in the Food and Nutrition Bulletin reveals that kwashiorkor may be a local phenomenon that is underestimated by national statistics.
