Abstract：
:While providing health care in rural Bolivia, 349 children under 4 years old were seen. Height and weight were measured and demographic data obtained. The purpose was to describe the prevalence of malnutrition and its associated socioeconomic factors. The sample included Mataco Indians and Bolivians of European or of mixed descent. Using international standards, 21% of the children had weight below the fifth percentile for age; 27% had height below the fifth percentage for age; 17% were below the fifth percentile for weight/height. Malnutrition was more common in younger children (peak prevalence in 1-2 year olds). Malnutrition was associated with race and water source, but not with family size, literacy, immunizations, meals per day, or deaths in family. Attempts to improve nutrition should focus on the youngest children. :The authors measured height and weight and obtained demographic data for 349 children under 4 years of age in rural Bolivia for the purpose of describing the prevalence of malnutrition and its associated socioeconomic factor. The sample included Mataco Indians and Bolivians of European or of mixed descent. On the basis of international standards, 21% had weight below the 5th percentile for age; 27% had height below the 5th percentile for age; and 17% were below the 5th percentile for weight/height. Malnutrition was most common in younger children, with a peak prevalence among 1-2 year olds. Malnutrition was associated with race and water source, but not with family size, literacy, immunizations, meals per day, or deaths in the family. These findings suggest that attempts to improve nutrition should focus on the youngest children.
