Measuring and Managing protein energy malnutrition in rural communities - postscript

  • Dr Martin Bac Gelukspan Community Hospital

Abstract

In July 1983 we were able to analyse the relation between the different factors and acute malnutrition in more detail. Table III.4 and the p values do not indicate which factors contribute the most in the development of acute PEM. There was more acute malnutrition in the resettlement villages. Is that due to the fact that the children in the resettlements are not so well immunised or attend less frequently the child welfare clinic?
