Malnutrition, Infection and Child Growth in Jamaica
A semi-longitudinal study of factors influencing child growth in a rural community in Jamaica provided an opportunity to explore the relationships between diarrhoea, respiratory infections and body weight. Respiratory infections and diarrhoea both reached peak incidences between the ages of 6 and 24 months when children are at highest risk of malnutrition. Respiratory infections had no demonstrable influence on growth. Diarrhoea was more common i…
Socio-Economic and Cultural Influences on Child Growth in Rural Jamaica
A semi-longitudinal study of growth in children up to 5 years of age in a rural Jamaican community is described. One of its aims was to investigate the relationship between growth and factors in the social environment such as family structure, parental characteristics, housing and income. A strong relationship between growth and socio-economic variables was found. This apparently masked whatever effects the quality of care or separation from pare…
A longitudinal study of child growth in a rural community in Jamaica
A longitudinal study of the growth of a cohort of 229 infants born in a rural area in Jamaica and followed to their 4th birthdays is described, and this paper reports analyses of the anthropometric measurements. Moderate impairment of growth affected the majority of children and was most marked between the ages of 3 and 15 months. Severe impairment occurred in boys more often than girls and in this comm unity was rarely attributable to disease. T…
Relation between change in blood pressure and weight
A recent analysis of blood pressure measurements collected during longitudinal studies of samples of the general population in South Wales suggested that ageing plays no direct role in determining blood pressure levels (Miall and Lovell, 1967). The increases in blood pressure occurring during intervals of 8 to 10 years were found to be significantly related to the average pressure attained-the higher the pressure the greater the increase in press…
Heights and Weights of Adults in Rural and Industrial Areas of South Wales
Although surveys of stature, especially of weight, provide useful information on the general health of a population, there is a lack of recent anthropometric publications from Britain. The results of the national survey taken in 1943 (Kemsley, 1950) are unlikely to reflect present conditions. Here recorded are the results of surveys of heights and weights of Welsh adults living in the Vale of Glamorgan, a rural area, in 1956, and in the Rhondda F…
Haematological investigations of population samples in Jamaica
No large-scale studies of the prevalence of anaemia in the general populations of any of the West Indian territories have been reported pre- viously. Interest in the medical characteristics of West Indian populations is increasing, both within the Caribbean area and in those countries where West Indian immigrants form an important section of the community, and in this paper we report the results of haematological investigations carried out as par…
Heights and Weights of Adults in Rural and Urban Areas of Jamaica
Very few studies have been made on the stature of adult Negroes
A Goitre Survey in the Vale of Glamorgan
The object of most previous goitre surveys has been to determine the prevalence of the condition in different areas, and to compare the results with some other 'finding, such as the iodine content of local water supplies. The purpose of the present survey was somewhat different. The number of persons with goitre was ascertained in a defined area in South Wales (Cochrane, Miall, and Clarke, 1956), where goitre was known to be fairly common (Davies…
