The epidemiology of good nutrition in a population with a high prevalence of malnutrition
In an attempt to detect those factors which, even in very poor families, allow good child nutrition, a comparison was made of data obtained from the families of well‐nourished and of malnourished children standardized by socio‐economical level. Clear differences were found in some biological characteristics of the mother‐child pair; the well‐nourished children were more frequently males, they were older, their mothers had a better diet, and weani…

In order to assess the effect of agricultural development on nutrition, surveys were made both prior to, and following the implementation of an extensive agricultural programme in a tropical area.
