Cachexiapronounced with a hard ch, like k-his Greek for a bad way of living (which seems kind of judgy to us). It was known to the father of medicine himself, Hippocrates, but it wasnt well defined until the twentieth centuryalthough now that definition is a subject of debate. Theres even some disagreement whether cachexia is merely a complication of other diseases of wether it has its own underlying cause and, potentially, cure. Studies suggest that inflammation might be the common link.
