Answer:

Serious protein deficiency can cause swelling, fatty liver, skin degeneration, increase the severity of infections and stunt growth in children.

While true deficiency is rare in developed countries, low intake may cause muscle wasting and increase the risk of bone fracture

Hope this helps you :)
