Diarrhea and growth retardation
We have used a 38‐year data set from an Aboriginal community in Queensland, Australia to test whether diarrheal disease (D&V) leads to growth retardation. During this period the community has passed from the high‐birth‐rate/high‐death‐rate situation of developing countries to the “western” pattern. In children aged from birth to five years episodes of D&V were not associated with significant decrease in weight growth either in the “developing” or…
The growth during infancy of parents and their children
The growth of infants up to two years of age has been compared with the growth, one generation earlier, of their parents during infancy. Up to the age of one year, the infant tended to follow the same pattern of growth as his mother during her infancy. There was no consistent correlation between the growth of the infant and that of his father during infancy. These findings show that there is no major genetic influence on weight during infancy, bu…
A model for the prediction of energy balance and body weight
A model for changes in energy balance and body weight is described which can be written as an iterative computer program. Medium and long-term changes in body weight resulting from random daily fluctuations in energy balance are quantitatively predicted. Body weight varies periodically about a mean value to to the extent of ± 1 kg over a span of a few weeks. Long-term weight stabilization is the result of a dynamic equilibrium between energy inta…
