Several biochemical and anthropometric tests were used to define the states of mild or moderate protein-energy malnutrition among 810 children aged under five years in the forest region of Southern Cameroon. The results show that the percentage and the identity of children classified as undernourished may be different according to the anthropometric test employed. The mean values of most of the biochemical variables assayed decrease in the groups affected with moderate weight and arm deficiencies. A system is proposed for the evaluation of the nutritional status based on the simultaneous use of four anthropometric tests. Some biochemical parameters may be useful for establishing a diagnosis.
在喀麦隆南部森林地区，对810名五岁以下儿童进行了多项生化和人体测量测试，以确定轻度或中度蛋白质-能量营养不良的状况。结果表明，根据所采用的人体测量测试方法，被归类为营养不良的儿童百分比和身份可能会有所不同。在体重和手臂围度中度不足的受影响组中，所检测的大多数生化变量的平均值下降。提出了一种基于同时使用四项人体测量测试来评估营养状况的系统。一些生化参数可能有助于进行诊断。
