The synergism between nutrition status and hospital admissions due to diarrhea and pneumonia was studied in a population-based birth cohort of greater than 5000 children in southern Brazil. Children were identified soon after birth in 1982, and data on nutrition status (weight and length) and hospital admissions were collected in 1984 and in 1986. Diarrhea admissions were stronger predictors of malnutrition than were pneumonia admissions, but malnutrition was a more important risk factor for pneumonia than for diarrhea. All associations were stronger in the first 2 y of life, although the early effect of severe diarrhea and pneumonia on nutrition status could still be detected in the fourth year of life.
在巴西南部一个超过5000名儿童的基于人群的出生队列中，研究了营养状况与因腹泻和肺炎住院之间的协同作用。1982年儿童出生后不久便被识别出来，1984年和1986年收集了营养状况（体重和身长）及住院的数据。腹泻住院比肺炎住院更能预测营养不良，但营养不良是肺炎比腹泻更重要的危险因素。所有关联在生命的头两年更强，尽管严重腹泻和肺炎对营养状况的早期影响在生命的第四年仍可检测到。
