marasmus malnutrition

基本解释

However, malnutrition and marasmus are more serious health problems than that of overweight and obesity in Hainan Province.
海南省居民超重率呈上升趋势，在海南省营养不良、消瘦的情况比超重肥胖更加严重。
One significant difference between the two syndromes is that children with marasmus are twice as likely to survive malnutrition as those with kwashiorkor.
两种症状的一个重要区别是，得了消瘦症的人比得了夸希奥科病的存活率高出一倍。
Dr Gluckman and Dr Forrester thus hypothesise that the capacity for a marasmus-style response to malnutrition, with its higher survival rate, is programmed into fetuses by maternal malnourishment.
我认为理解不对，我这么看：“Gluckman 和 Forrester两位博士据此假设，对营养不良作出消瘦形式反应的能力，是由于其母亲营养不良带给胎儿的，因而有较高存活率。
