aWeight loss = Kwashiorkor, nutritional marasmus, and protein–calorie malnutrition. bOther neurologic disorders = Parkinson disease and unspecified cerebral degeneration, choreas, spinocerebellar and anterior horn cell diseases, CNS demyelinating disease, epilepsy and convulsions, encephalopathy and anoxic brain damage.
