  • Malnutrition, Infection and Child Growth in Jamaica

    Open AccessW E Miall, Patricia Desai et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1970

    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

    Open AccessPatricia Desai, K L STANDARD et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1970

    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 longitudinal study of child growth in a rural community in Jamaica

    Open AccessK L STANDARD, Patricia Desai et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1969

    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.

    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 Barbadian School Children

    K L STANDARD, H G Lovell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1966References: 2

    The size of school children is a valuable index of the wellbeing of a community. The effects on the general level of health of different environments, of long-term changes in standards of living, and of other features of sections of a community are often reflected in the growth of children. Thus a knowledge of heights and weights may aid an assessment of effects of infectious disease, diet, and race. No comprehensive anthropometric data for Barba…
