Proteinâenergy wasting (PEW) is the state of decreased body stores of protein and energy fuels (that is, body protein and fat masses). This abnormality is often associated with diminished functional capacity related to metabolic stresses.
PEM is also referred to as protein-calorie malnutrition. It develops in children and adults whose consumption of protein and energy (measured by calories) is insufficient to satisfy the body's nutritional needs.
