  • Political and administrative distribution of nutritional status in panama according to the height census of first grade school children

    Parillon D Cutberto, Víctor Valverde et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1987

    Height is the most suitable anthropometric measurement reflecting the effects of social and economic factors in the health and nutritional conditions of communities. It can be used to identify the minimum level of desaggregation of political‐administrative areas exhibiting the highest prevalence of malnutrition. A national census of height of 58,000 first grade school children located in 3,000 schools was conducted in the Republic of Panama which…

  • Physical growth, age at menarche and age at first union in rural Guatemala

    Hernan Delgado, Hernan L Delgado et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1985

    The relationship between anthropometric measurements, age at menarche and age at first union was studied in a group of Guatemalan Indian adolescents. From the data, it was concluded that median age at menarche is considerably high and that anthropometric measurements of girls (weight, height and arm circumference) and their age were positively associated with menarcheal status. In addition, it was found that early maturers get married earlier in …

  • Diarrheal diseases, nutritional status and health care: Analyses of their interrelationships

    Hernan Delgado, Hernan L Delgado et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1983

    The relationship between diarrheal diseases, nutritional status and health care has been studied prospectively in a group of Guatemalan Indian children below two years of age. From the data it was concluded that acute and chronic malnutrition is positively associated with the incidence and duration of gastrointestinal disorders, and that the negative nutritional consequences of diarrhea are more significant in malnourished children than in well‐n…

  • Income and growth retardation in poor families with similar living conditions in rural Guatemala

    Víctor Valverde, Victor Mejia Pivaral et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1981

    The relationship between annual family per capita income (AFPCI) and growth retardation in children as ascertained by weight for age (W/A), height for age (H/A) and weight for height (W/H) was studied in families residing in coffee plantations in Guatemala. When W/A and H/A are correlated with AFPCI, significant differences are observed (P 0.05). When AFPCI data are divided by quartiles of income levels, the prevalence of growth retardation is re…

  • Life styles and nutritional status of children from different ecological areas of El Salvador

    Víctor Valverde, Isabel Nieves et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1980

    Life styles and the nutritional status of children were studied in a coffee, a cotton (intensive) and a basic grain (subsistence) growing region of El Salvador, as well as in populations living in the slums of the capital city, San Salvador. The objectives of the paper were to identify ecological regions with greater magnitude of growth retardation and to describe living patterns that require different social and economic actions in order to redu…

  • Protein‐energy intakes in a malnourished population after increasing the supply of the dietary staples

    Reynaldo Martorell, Víctor Valverde et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1979

    This paper examines the extent to which food intake in malnourished populations is affected by increasing the availability of the dietary staples. Free amounts of corn and beans were supplied to 47 families in a rural Guatemalan community during eight weeks. Relative to a six‐week baseline period, adults increased their intakes by about 400 kcal (1.68 MJ) and 15 gof protein per day. The average changes for pre‐school children were 198 kcl (0.83 M…

  • Relationship between family land availability and nutritional status

    Víctor Valverde, Reynaldo Martorell et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1977

    A study of the relationship between occupation, land owned and/or rented by the family and nutritional status of two‐ and three‐year‐old children was conducted in four rural Guatemalan villages. Families were divided into three occupational groups: salaried agricultural workers, farmers, and skilled workers and merchants. Nutritional status was defined in terms of weight for age. There was a tendency for the children of skilled workers and mercha…

  • Dietetic and anthropometric differences between children from the center and surrounding villages of a rural region of Costa Rica

    Víctor Valverde, Ian G Rawson et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1976

    Dietary and anthropometric surveys of children were conducted as part of a nutritional evaluation of the central (urban) and peripheral (rural) areas of San Ramón, a town located in the central plateau of Costa Rica. The findings showed marked differences between the center and the peripheral villages in the intake of selected nutrients, height and weight of children. The data show a primary energy deficiency in children from the peripheral villa…
