Poor appetite is a common problem in childhood.For assessment, history of development, nutrition and family are important. Poor appetitemay also be a symptom of feeding disorders. Even though the etiology of feedingdisorders may be classified as organic or functional, it indeed reflects the complexinteraction of biological, behavioral and social factors. Personal, familial, economic andsociocultural factors may affect appetite. In this review, approaches to a child with lowappetite who presents a difficult problem for his/her family and doctor are discussed inthe light of recent literature
