Anthropometric indicators of children's nutrition in two Nigerian communities
On a sample of some 2000 children living in two ecologically different zones (the Wooded and Guinea savanna) in Kwara state, Nigeria, body measurements were taken, to serve as indicators of the state of nutrition. There was more undernutrition in the Guinea savanna than in the Wooded. More males than females were undernourished in the Guinea savanna but not in the Wooded. It is argued that the differences between districts stem from social and cu…
Birthweight and sociobiological factors in Ilorin, Nigeria
Social and biological factors influencing birthweight of 3053 Ilorin babies were studied. The mean birth weights were 2·998 kg ±0·133 (SD) for males and 2·932 kg ± 0.154 (SD) for females. Multiple regression analysis showed that maternal weight, height, age, education and ethnicity, and child's sex, significantly affected birthweight of infants. Some quadratic and interaction terms also contributed significantly to the prediction of birthweight. …
Nutritional beliefs among rural Nigerian mothers

Nutritional status and morbidity of children in isolated villages of Kwara State, Nigeria
The purpose of this study was to assess the nutritional status and morbidity of children in medically isolated villages of Kwara State, Nigeria. The height, weight, chest, head and mid‐upper‐arm circumferences of 1,743 rural Kwaran children aged 0.5 to 13 years were measured. The immunization status of these children was determined and they were screened for the prevalence of tropical and childhood infections. The 50th percentiles of age and mid‐…

A comparative study of the nutritional status of children in urban and rural areas of Kwara state, Nigeria
The purpose of this study was to compare the nutritional status of children in urban and rural areas of Kwara State, Nigeria. The height, weight, chest, head and mid‐upper‐arm circumferences of 2,246 Kwaran children aged 2 to 13 years were measured. The preponderance of the weights of both urban and rural Kwaran children were below 99% of Harvard standard. In the rural area (Shao), both the male and female children weighed less than 90% and 99% o…
