“…The haematological values and the incidence of increased ESR in the total material were approximately the same as in the earlier study (13). Further, in the present study, infections, mainly upper respiratory infections, appeared to have an influence on the Hb and/of PCV-values.…”

“…The mean values of haemoglobin, packed red cell volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration are slightly higher than the values of Samuelson & Sjolin (13). No case of anaemia and no abnormalities in the blood smears were found.…”

“…The investigation was carried out during the same time of the year as in the earlier study. The physical examination, the anthropometrical measurements (weight, height, tricepsand subscapular skinfolds), the haematological examinations (haemoglobin, packed red cell volume, blood smear examination), the determination of the microsedimentation rate (ESR) were performed as previously (10,13). In addition, in the present study the cirdumference of the left upper arm was measured using a measuring tape, and recorded to within 0.1 cm.…”

“…In 1967 a nutritional survey (9) as well as a general and oral health study (10,11,13) was performed in the northern part of Sweden, in one urban and two rural areas. The relationships between general and oral health, food habits and socio-economic conditions were analysed (12).…”

Sweden). An epidemiological study of child health and nutrition in a northern Swedish county. VII. A comparative study of general and dental health, food habits and socioeconomic conditions in 4-year-old children. Acta Paediatr Scand, 64: 241, 1975.-A study of the general and dental health and the food habits of randomly selected 4-year-old Swedish urban children was performed. The results were compared with the fmdings of an investigation carried out four years earlier in the same area. In comparison with the earlier study no significant differences were found in haemoglobin values, packed red cell volume, microsedimentation rate and anthropometric measurements. The food habits had altered. A reduction in the frequency of between-meal consumption, particularly of sweets and soft drinks, as well as a reduction of the frequency of meat, fish and egg consumption was found. The children had an increased sandwich and milk consumption. The caries f r e quency was markedly reduced, which might be explained by the decreased between-meal consumption and an increased consumption of fluoride tablets. The food habits and the caries situation were generally influenced by the parents' socio-economic conditions, especially their educational level.KEY WORDS: anthropometrical measurements, caries and gingivitis, food habits and socio-economic conditions Acta Pzdiarr Scand 64 16-752872 Acta Pzdiatr Scand 64

The aim of the study was to investigate the accuracy of children’s reports of their consumption of a school meal. Nutritional intake from the school lunch was studied for 56 healthy 8-year-olds and 43 13-year-olds. Information as to nutritional intake was obtained by personal interviews within the limits of 24-hour recall. The results were compared with those of the double-portion technique, which involves weighing and chemical analysis of a double portion, with subtraction of left-overs. Energy, protein, fat and iron content were determined. The data for the individual meals were spread over a wide range. On a group basis, however, the differences between nutrient data obtained by recall and by analysis were levelled out. In spite of a number of possible sources of error in both the double-portion method and the recall, the results obtained with the two methods gave median values for amounts consumed and for nutritional data that were in fairly good agreement. The median values for energy and nutrient content of a given double portion obtained by calculation from food composition tables and by chemical analysis were in good agreement. It is concluded that the groups of 8- and 13-year-old children in this investigation were able to provide an acceptable picture of their consumption of a single meal in a dietary recall covering the past 24 h.
