The AAP revised the: definition of Pediatric Undernutrition, or having a BMI < 5th %ile, in 2013 as "an imbalance between nutrient requirements & intake that results in cumulative deficits of energy, protein or micronutrients that may negatively affect growth, development & other relevant outcomes." See Dr. Daniel Kessler's book " Pediatric Undernutrition" & http://m.aapnews.aappublications.org/content/34/6/15.full.
