What Is the Kwashiorkor Model Used For?
Kwashiorkor typically affects young children after weaning whose diet is especially poor in protein, often together with infection. Besides oedema, the classic signs taught in class are dark skin patches that peel, thin pale or reddish hair that pulls out easily, an enlarged fatty liver and an apathetic, miserable child whose swelling can hide underlying muscle wasting. The name comes from the Ga language of Ghana. Comparing kwashiorkor with marasmus — severe wasting without oedema — is a standard exercise in nutrition classes, and the model gives students a fixed reference for it in dietetics, nursing, community-medicine and biology lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main signs of kwashiorkor?
Oedema is the key sign, usually starting in the feet and lower legs, with skin and hair changes, an enlarged liver and apathy. Because of the swelling, the child may not look thin.
How is this model different from the Marasmus Model?
Each shows a different form of severe malnutrition: this one kwashiorkor, with oedema, and the Marasmus Model severe wasting without oedema. Many teachers use both.
Who produces the Kwashiorkor Model?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, known as JLab, produces it at its Ambala works in Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
The Kwashiorkor Model comes from Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab), a manufacturer of laboratory equipment and nutrition and health teaching models in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. It is made in JLab’s own works instead of being bought from a trader, so colleges, schools, dealers and importers buy factory-direct, each unit is inspected by eye, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Jordan in the Middle East, Nigeria in West Africa, Myanmar in Southeast Asia, Angola in Central Africa and the USA in North America. Tender details are available on the JLab lab tenders page.
