There is some evidence to show that the immune response is suppressed in malnutrition but the mechanism is not entirely clear. A more complete understanding of nutritional-immunological relationships is important, especially for child health in developing countries. This memorandum discusses a general approach to the problem and proposes specific methods for investigating the effects of malnutrition on the immune response. Several field studies incorporating these proposals are now in progress.
有证据表明营养不良会抑制免疫反应,但具体机制尚不完全清楚。更全面地了解营养与免疫的关系非常重要,尤其是对发展中国家的儿童健康而言。本备忘录讨论了该问题的一般方法,并提出了调查营养不良对免疫反应影响的具体方法。目前正在进行几项纳入这些提议的实地研究。
