- The major determinants of MUAC are muscle and subcutaneous fat, both important determinants of survival in malnutrition and starvation.
- MUAC is less affected than weight and height based indices (e.g. Body Mass Index) by accumulation of fluid (i.e. nutritional oedema, periorbital oedema and ascites).
- So MUAC is a good predictor of mortality.
- It is recommended for identifying young children with, or at risk of, severe acute malnutrition and adults with acute energy deficiency.
- In children between 6-59 months old, MUAC <110 mm indicates severe acute malnutrition and is recommended as a criterion for admission to therapeutic feeding programmes.
- Values between 110 and 120/125 mm indicate moderate malnutrition.
- Values below 250 mm in adults indicate severe wasting. (Note that MUAC is not sensitive enough to routinely monitor growth at young child clinics)

ReplyDeleteI'm Anna, and I'm happy to share my story of overcoming oral and genital herpes. For four years, I lived with these debilitating conditions, spending my fortune on medication and waiting for the inevitable outbreaks. My life was a constant cycle of pain, fear, and anxiety.
DeleteI tried everything to manage my symptoms, from antiviral medications to home remedies. But no matter what I did, the outbreaks kept coming. I felt like I was losing control of my life, and I didn't know where to turn.
One day, while searching online for a solution, I stumbled upon Dr. Utu's herbal cure. I was skeptical at first, but something deep inside of me asked me to go for it. I decided to take a chance and email him at "drutuherbalcure@gmail.com".
Dr. Utu responded promptly, and we began discussing my condition. He asked me questions about my symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. I was impressed by his knowledge and compassion. For the first time in years, I felt like someone truly understood what I was going through.
Dr. Utu reassured me that he could help me overcome my condition. He explained that his herbal remedy was designed to target the root cause of the virus, rather than just managing the symptoms. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try.
Dr. Utu by himself prepared a customized herbal remedy for me, which I took as instructed. The treatment was easy to follow, and I experienced no side effects. I was amazed by the progress I made in just a few days. I have gone for a test in two different clinics since after my treatment and no herpes virus has been detected
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Utu for transforming my life and helping me regain my health. For over five long years, I struggled with a herpes infection that left me feeling incomplete and desperate for a solution. During this time, I fervently prayed to God for healing and relentlessly searched for an effective cure, but nothing seemed to work.
DeleteSome months ago, I found myself once again looking for answers online, hoping to discover a potential solution to my problem. While browsing through various comments and testimonials about different doctors, I felt a divine nudge to reach out to Dr. Utu, whose reputation seemed to shine through the myriad of stories shared by others. With a mixture of hope and skepticism, I contacted him via the email address I found: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
Dr. Utu was incredibly responsive and compassionate. He promptly sent me a herbal medicine and provided clear directions on how to use it over the course of four weeks. Following his instructions diligently, I remained hopeful, praying that this time would be different. After completing the treatment, I scheduled a test and, to my overwhelming joy, the results came back negative.
I cannot adequately express the tears of joy that streamed down my face in that moment. I felt an immense weight lifted off my shoulders, and the feeling of being a clean man again was indescribable. This experience has reinstilled hope in my heart, and I am deeply thankful for Dr. Utu's expertise and compassion.
Now, I have made it my mission to share my story with others who are struggling and to testify about the miraculous healing that God facilitated through Dr. Utu. If anyone else is facing similar challenges, I encourage you to reach out and seek help. You are not alone in your journey!
I am delighted to share my remarkable experience with Dr. Utu, the traditional African herbalist who successfully cured me of my herpes virus using his herpes herbal cleanser. I had been suffering from herpes for over a year and had tried various treatments to eliminate this debilitating condition, but none of them proved effective.
DeleteDespite my initial reluctance to accept that there might be something in this world that couldn’t be treated, I turned to prayer, believing that God would intervene in my life. A few months ago, I came across numerous testimonials about Dr. Utu herbal cure, which described how he used his herbal cleanser to treat and cure individuals. These testimonials convinced us to contact Dr. Utu for any health issues, assuring us that he could provide immediate assistance.
I wrote to Dr. Utu via email, explaining how I had found him and detailing my condition. He confidently assured me that he would prepare the herbal cleanser for my herpes and guided me through the four week treatment process. He also asked for my address to arrange for shipping.
After completing all the necessary steps, Dr. Utu sent me the herbal cure via DHL Express Courier. I followed his instructions diligently, and after a few days, I began to notice positive changes in my body while continuing the treatment. I contacted Dr. Utu again, and he encouraged me to complete the entire course. After four weeks, I informed him of my progress, and he suggested I undergo another test. I arranged for my lab doctor to conduct another blood test.
The test results confirmed that the herpes virus was no longer detectable in my system, and my blood work showed excellent results. I am overwhelmed with gratitude! Today, I am free from herpes, and I want to let everyone know that a cure is possible with the herpes herbal cleanser. For anyone still facing this challenge, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
