The diets of 53 Southampton children who had had appendicitis were compared with those of two sets of age-sex matched controls using a seven-day weighed food record. One set of controls comprised classmates of the cases; the other was a random sample of all schoolchildren in the city. The cases weighed less and were shorter in height; they had lower intakes of energy, all the main nutrients and water. The differences in weight and water intake were statistically significant. Low water intake was identified as a risk factor independent of other factors. Consumption of dietary fibre from cereals and vegetables in relation to total energy intake and body weight was similar in cases and controls.
采用7天称重食物记录法，将53名患阑尾炎的南安普敦儿童的饮食与两组年龄和性别匹配的对照组儿童的饮食进行比较。一组对照组由病例的同班同学组成；另一组是该市所有学童的随机样本。病例组儿童体重较轻、身高较矮；他们的能量、所有主要营养素和水的摄入量较低。体重和水摄入量的差异具有统计学意义。低水摄入量被确定为独立于其他因素的一个风险因素。病例组和对照组儿童从谷物和蔬菜中摄入的膳食纤维与总能量摄入及体重的关系相似。
