Abstract

A mixed longitudinal study on growth was carried out during one year in a group of 398 children, age 0-5 years. A sharp drop of weight and height increments were observed at age 3·6 months.Growth rates continued to be low until about 24 months of age, after which increments were approxiately similar to British reference data.Food intake, as published in the previous article, is not the only factor of the siluation recorded.More longitudinal studies are needed 10 assess the pattern of growth of infants and young toddlers in relation 10 dietary intake and morbidity.

Abstract

Upper arm circumfereru:e, triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured at 6-monthly intervals during one year in a group of preschool children, age 0 - 5 years.All 3 measurements decreased as compared with the reference in the age period 1 - 23 months followed by a catch-up at age 2- 4 years.The predictive value of upper arm circumference for the development af malnutrition was low. Age group 1 - 23 months should be considered "at risk" irrespectively of the nutritional state at the time of examination.Absence of mortality may be attributed to the fact that children can eat to appetite, when they are healthy and to the simple medical treatment given.
