Gomez classification one of the earliest systems for classifying protein‐energy malnutrition in children, based on percentage of expected weight for age.
Formula for weight for age (%):
Weight of the child
Weight for age (%) = ________________________________
Weight of the normal child of same age
Sr.No. |
Weight of age (%) |
Malnutrition |
1. |
90-100% |
Normal Nutritional status |
2. |
75-89% |
Mild malnutrition (1st degree) |
3. |
60-74% |
Moderate malnutrition (2nd degree) |
4. |
<60% |
Severe malnutrition (3rd degree) |
