The long-term effects of kwashiorkor on psychomotor development were assessed by means of 3 tests. A group of 31 children aged from 6 to 12 years, who had been hospitalized for the treatment of kwashiorkor during infancy, was age-matched with 2 control groups, consisting of a group of siblings and a group of yardmates, none of whom had been exposed to acute infantile malnutrition. The test scores for the groups were not significantly different. The results are discussed in the light of suggestions that marasmus has a more damaging effect on human development than kwashiorkor.
通过3项测试评估了夸休可尔症对精神运动发育的长期影响。一组31名6至12岁的儿童，在婴儿期因夸休可尔症住院治疗，与2个对照组进行年龄匹配，对照组包括一组兄弟姐妹和一组同院伙伴，他们都未经历过急性婴儿营养不良。这些组的测试分数没有显著差异。根据有关消瘦症对人类发育的损害比夸休可尔症更大的观点对结果进行了讨论。
