The retrospective and prospective study was done on 141 children who died of AIDS in 1990-1997 (inclusive) in Colentina Hospital of Infectious Diseases, Bucharest. The mean of weight and growth deficiency in the total group was accordingly 50.7% and 20.4% with a statistically significant differences in organized children 54.3% and 21.3% in comparison with those of family 46.4% and 18.5%. The evaluation of the anthropometry data estimates a relationship of middle strength between weight and growth deficiency. The obtained data reveal the importance of nutrition and hygiene care factors in the degree of wasting syndrome and mortality-rate, especially in the first two years of life, and demonstrate the necessity of anthropometry measures of children in AIDS.
近期研究的目的是评估艾滋病毒感染对非母婴传播感染儿童体重增长不足的影响。对1990年至1997年（含）在布加勒斯特科伦蒂纳传染病医院死于艾滋病的141名儿童进行了回顾性和前瞻性研究。整个组体重和生长不足的平均值分别为50.7%和20.4%，与家庭组的46.4%和18.5%相比，机构养育儿童的相应比例为54.3%和21.3%，差异具有统计学意义。人体测量数据的评估估计体重与生长不足之间存在中等强度的关系。所获得的数据揭示了营养和卫生保健因素在消瘦综合征程度和死亡率方面的重要性，特别是在生命的头两年，并证明了对艾滋病患儿进行人体测量的必要性。
