This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in a rural Nigerian community. Using the modified Wellcome Classification, the prevalence of protein energy malnutrition (PEM) was 20.5%. The prevalence of underweight, wasting and stunting were 23.1%t, 9% and 26.7%, respectively. The low prevalence of PEM in this rural Nigerian community may be due to the services and intervention provided by a non-governmental organization in the community. This method of intervention is similarly achievable in any other community.
本研究旨在确定尼日利亚一个农村社区的营养不良患病率。采用改良的韦尔科姆分类法，蛋白质能量营养不良（PEM）的患病率为20.5%。体重不足、消瘦和发育迟缓的患病率分别为23.1%、9%和26.7%。该尼日利亚农村社区PEM患病率较低可能归因于社区内一个非政府组织提供的服务和干预措施。这种干预方法在其他任何社区同样可行。
