• Weight loss in adults/children (or the lack of weight gain in children) that is 1 to 3 standard deviations from the reference population.
ICD-10 Diagnosis Code E45 - Retarded development following protein energy malnutrition
• Short stature, stunting, or physical retardation related to malnutrition
