Between April, 1968, and May, 1973, the Department of International Health of Johns Hopkins University studied the effects of the interaction of nutrition and infection in fourteen villages of Punjab, North India. Serial anthropometric measurements (used as index of nutritional status) and vital statistics of almost 3000 children aged 1-36 months showed that, on average, child mortality doubled with each 10% decline below 80% of the Harvard weight median. The relation between season and mortality showed that mortality-rates were highest just before and during the main (wheat) harvest, reflecting the effects of food scarcity, relative child neglect, and climate on child deaths among those already underweight.
1968年4月至1973年5月期间，约翰·霍普金斯大学国际卫生系研究了印度北部旁遮普邦14个村庄营养与感染相互作用的影响。对近3000名1至36个月大儿童进行的系列人体测量（用作营养状况指标）和生命统计显示，平均而言，当体重低于哈佛体重中位数的80%且每下降10%时，儿童死亡率就会翻倍。季节与死亡率之间的关系表明，死亡率在主要（小麦）收获期之前和期间最高，这反映了食物短缺、对儿童相对忽视以及气候对体重已偏轻儿童死亡的影响。
