Abstract
Kwashiorkor is a major classification of severe acute malnutrition whose etiology remains elusive. It is estimated to affect hundreds of thousands of children annually, but no accurate global prevalence figures are available. Little is known how prevalence varies within populations, an important undocumented aspect of kwashiorkor obscured by the aggregation of prevalence or incidence of the condition across large populations and geographic areas.
