The long-term effects of kwashiorkor on the electroencephalogram were assessed by means of computer analysis techniques. The experimental group, consisting of 30 black children, 6 to 12 years old, hospitalized for the treatment of kwashiorkor during the first 27 months of life, was age-matched with three control groups. These were a group of siblings and of yardmates, neither of whom had been exposed to acute infantile malnutrition, and a very high socioeconomic group of white children. The results revealed significantly less alpha activity and more slow-wave activity in the electroencephalogram of the kwashiokor group than in those of the control groups. These findings confirmed previous results based on visual analysis procedures.
通过计算机分析技术评估了夸休可尔症对脑电图的长期影响。实验组由30名6至12岁的黑人儿童组成，他们在出生后的前27个月因夸休可尔症住院治疗，并与三个对照组进行了年龄匹配。对照组包括一组兄弟姐妹和一组邻居伙伴，他们都未遭受过急性婴儿营养不良，还有一组社会经济地位非常高的白人儿童。结果显示，夸休可尔症组脑电图中的α波活动明显少于对照组，慢波活动则多于对照组。这些发现证实了先前基于视觉分析程序得出的结果。
