Moderate Acute Malnutrition, while not as serious as Severe Acute Malnutrition, is harmful to children because it increases child mortality and exposure to nutrition-related diseases.
Moderate Acute Malnutrition is defined by a low weight for height (below -2 z score of the median WHO growth standards), by having a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) between 110mm and 125mm.
