I am trying to design a study to determine risk factors for Severe Acute Malnutrition. The study would be in a hospital setting where cases would be infants

Greeting

You can use the BMI to determine the risk factors of malnutrition to children under five years

And you can determine the size of study sample as available in hospitals

With respect
