The effects of protein energy malnutrition in early childhood on intellectual and motor abilities in later childhood and adolescence / Jan HOORWEG in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 18-3 (June 1976)
[article]
Titre : The effects of protein energy malnutrition in early childhood on intellectual and motor abilities in later childhood and adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jan HOORWEG, Auteur ; J. Paget STANFIELD, Auteur Année de publication : 1976 Article en page(s) : p.330-350 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Three groups of Ugandan children (20 in each group) and one comparison group of 20 children were examined between 11 and 17 years of age. The first three groups had been admitted to hospital for treatment of protein energy malnutrition between the ages of eight to 15, 16 to 21 and 22 to 27 months, respectively. The comparison group had not been clinically malnourished throughout the whole period up to 27 months of age. All the children came from one tribe and were individually matched for sex, age, education and home environment. It was found that the three malnourished groups fell significantly below the comparison group in anthropometric measurements and in tests of intellectual and motor abilities. No evidence was found for a relationship between the deficit and age at admission. Further analysis among the 60 malnourished children revealed that anthropometry and intellectual and motor abilities are the more affected the greater the degree of 'chronic undernutrition' at admission, but no correlation was found with the severity of the 'acute malnutrition'. The results show a general impairment of intellectual abilities, with reasoning and spatial abilities most affected, memory and rote learning intermediately and language ability least, if at all, affected. These findings are discussed in the context of a comprehensive and critical appraisal of the existing literature.
