Kwashiorkor is a condition caused by a deficiency of which nutrient?

Kwashiorkor is caused by a deficiency of protein in the diet. Protein is a crucial nutrient required for building and repairing tissues, maintaining a strong immune system, and overall growth and development, especially in children. Insufficient protein intake can lead to severe health problems, including edema (fluid retention) and stunted growth, which are common features of Kwashiorkor.
