Abstract

In order to identify as early as possible those children who may later develop malnutrition, a sample of Zambian copper-miners' children of known age and birth weights were measured at the age of one year and again at 18 months. By this time, their mean weight, height, triceps skin-fold, arm circumference and developmental progress were less than expected and many were, or had been ill, with malnutrition and infections. The slower growth corresponded significantly with lower development scores. The mean values of the physical measurements resemble those previously observed in Zambia, and it is concluded that the “Harvard” and Tanner standards are suitable for use in this country. The mid upper arm circumference is the easiest and cheapest measurement to make and it compares closely with other measures. A value of 15 cm or less from the age of seven months onwards in young children should arouse suspicion that their nutrition is at risk.
