Anorexia usually manifests as extreme weight loss and an obsession with food.Kwashiorkor is a protein deficiency,usually from malnutrition,that manifests as generalized edema.Marasmus is a lack of energy-producing calories that can be seen in anorexia,and this causes emaciation,decreased energy levels, and retarded development.
