Targeting nutritional interventions
To test whether regular monitoring of weight is an efficient way to detect the development of malnutrition, two cohorts of children in Bangladesh and the Caribbean were followed prospectively for 18 months. Results showed that, after 1 year of age, body weight was more closely correlated with weight at 6 months of age than with weight changes in the previous three months. Moreover, weight at 6 months was significantly more closely correlated with…
Failure of a supplementary feeding programme to improve the health of young children
Each year the world devotes over $300 million to supplementary feeding projects, yet there are few truly empirical studies on the impact of particular schemes. This report presents results of a longitudinal study of a three‐year clinic‐based project in the West Indies. The evaluation showed that mean birth weights of babies of supplemented and unsupplemented mothers were 3.18 ± 0.56 and 3.19 ± 0.52 kg., respectively; the proportion of infants off…
