The mean +/-s.d. hair zinc levels of 45 pre-school and 70 school children, age 1-12 years, were 123 +/- 74 and 103 +/- 74 micrograms/g hair, respectively. The prevalence of zinc levels less than 70 micrograms/g 15 per cent (9 and 19 per cent for pre-school and school children, respectively). Anthropometric measurements showed that 25 per cent suffered from chronic malnutrition. The form of malnutrition manifested was exclusively stunting, ie, low height-for-age in the presence of adequate weight-for-height. No association was found between low hair zinc levels and nutritional status.
45名1至12岁学龄前儿童和70名学龄儿童头发锌水平的平均值±标准差分别为123±74和103±74微克/克头发。锌水平低于70微克/克的患病率为15%（学龄前儿童和学龄儿童分别为9%和19%）。人体测量结果显示，25%的儿童患有慢性营养不良。所表现出的营养不良形式仅为发育迟缓，即年龄别身高低但身高别体重正常。未发现低头发锌水平与营养状况之间存在关联。
