Serum Mg, Ca, Zn and Cu levels of 65 Indian children aged 5 months to 3 y 7 months, living in Bombay city, were estimated by atomic absorption spectrometry. Twenty-five well nourished controls exhibited the following serum levels: Mg 2.5 +/- 0.3 mg%, Ca 9.7 +/- 0.6 mg%, Zn 103.2 +/- 9.7 micrograms % and Cu 148.7 +/- 26 micrograms %. The remaining 40 patients were divided into four categories depending on the status of their nutrition; Group I was minimally undernourished, whereas Group IV was the worst effected. Group I (n = 6) had serum values of 2.5 +/- 0.2 mg% Mg, 8.9 +/- 0.6 mg% Ca, 85 +/- 18 micrograms % Zn and 108 +/- 25.8 micrograms % Cu. Group II (n = 20) levels were 2.2 +/- 0.3 mg% Mg, 8.3 +/- 0.9 mg% Ca, 82.6 +/- 16.5 micrograms %, Zn and 89.2 +/- 27.6 micrograms % Cu. Group III (n = 9) were 2.1 +/- 0.3 mg% Mg, 8.3 +/- 0.8 mg% Ca, 88.3 +/- 22.6 micrograms % Zn and 93 +/- 26.9 micrograms % Cu, whereas the most severely undernourished (Group IV) children had serum levels of 2.2 +/- 0.4 mg% Mg, 7.6 +/- 0.8 mg% Ca, 78.4 +/- 15.7 micrograms % Zn and 62.8 +/- 17.5 micrograms % Cu.
采用原子吸收光谱法对居住在孟买市的65名年龄在5个月至3岁7个月的印度儿童的血清镁、钙、锌和铜水平进行了测定。25名营养良好的对照组儿童的血清水平如下：镁2.5±0.3毫克%，钙9.7±0.6毫克%，锌103.2±9.7微克%，铜148.7±26微克%。其余40名患者根据其营养状况分为四类；第一组为轻度营养不良，而第四组受影响最严重。第一组（n = 6）的血清值为镁2.5±0.2毫克%，钙8.9±0.6毫克%，锌85±18微克%，铜108±25.8微克%。第二组（n = 20）的水平为镁2.2±0.3毫克%，钙8.3±0.9毫克%，锌82.6±16.5微克%，铜89.2±27.6微克%。第三组（n = 9）为镁2.1±0.3毫克%，钙8.3±0.8毫克%，锌88.3±22.6微克%，铜93±26.9微克%，而营养不良最严重的（第四组）儿童的血清水平为镁2.2±0.4毫克%，钙7.6±0.8毫克%，锌78.4±15.7微克%，铜62.8±17.5微克%。
