Abstract:
:Following the observation that many children with kwashiorkor had a deprived look in their eyes, the guardians of 107 children with kwashiorkor and 111 controls were interviewed about their home life, in a survey made at New Mulago Hospital, Kampala, between 1969 and 1972. A child's age, sex and tribe were found to have an influence on the nutritional state, therefore 50 of each group were matched for these variables. Ten significant associations were found which distinguished kwashiorkor patients from the control group. Children with kwashiorkor were more likely to be attended by someone other than the mother; to have changed attendants when ill; to have a pregnant mother; and to have separated parents. Further to these, singletons of split partnerships were at special risk; breast-feeding had stopped; weaning was begun for bad reasons; a child was more often living away from the parents and had been sent away coincident with weaning. The fathers tended to be poor. It is suggested that these 10 factors could be used as a social scoring system in assessing the risk of incipient kwashiorkor.
