It has been commonly believed that children in developing countries pass stools that are very different from those of developed countries. A community based study on defecation frequency, stool weight, and consistency was conducted in a cohort of 300 Myanmar (Burmese) children aged 1 to 4 years. Most (80.3%) children opened their bowels daily and none passed more than three stools a day. The mean (SD) defecation frequency was 6.98 (1.94) times a week and total stool weight was 596 (221) g a week. The majority (61%) of children passed soft stools. At all ages, there was no significant difference in the defecation frequency, stool weight, and consistency between boys and girls, those on adult style diet and those partially weaned, and between age groups.
人们普遍认为,发展中国家儿童的粪便与发达国家儿童的粪便有很大不同。对300名1至4岁的缅甸儿童进行了一项基于社区的排便频率、粪便重量和稠度的研究。大多数(80.3%)儿童每天排便,且无人一天排便超过三次。平均(标准差)排便频率为每周6.98(1.94)次,每周粪便总重量为596(221)克。大多数(61%)儿童排出软便。在所有年龄段,男孩与女孩、食用成人式饮食的儿童与部分断奶的儿童以及不同年龄组之间,在排便频率、粪便重量和稠度方面均无显著差异。
