An investigation into the nutritional anthropometry of preschool children of poor socioeconomic status was carried out in a rural community of India by door-to-door visits. All measurements--height, weight, left mid-arm girth, and chest and head circumferences--were far below local as well as international standards. By comparison with the Harvard standard, about 53% of the children were below it in respect of height for age and about 82% in respect of weight for height. The proportion of undernourished girls was relatively higher than that of boys. The need to develop regional standards is emphasised.
通过逐户走访，对印度一个农村社区社会经济地位低下的学龄前儿童进行了营养人体测量调查。所有测量数据——身高、体重、左上臂围、胸围和头围——均远低于当地及国际标准。与哈佛标准相比，约53%的儿童年龄别身高低于该标准，约82%的儿童身高别体重低于该标准。营养不良女孩的比例相对高于男孩。强调了制定地区标准的必要性。
