SUMMARY Growth failure and nutritional status were evaluated in 141 children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, aged between two and 18 years. Linear growth was assessed by upper‐arm and lower‐leg lengths: both means were significantly reduced. Mean bodyweight and triceps skinfold thickness fat stores were reduced to 65 per cent medians and subscapular skinfold fat stores to 81 per cent median. Muscle stores were the most preserved and reduced to 88 per cent median. Examination of the sample by age‐group showed significant reductions in growth and nutrition status indicators, even at two to four years, except for muscle area. TO determine the degree to which nutritional status affected linear growth, a set of two‐step regression analyses was conducted. The linear growth measures were significantly correlated with the measures of nutritional status. RÉSUMÉ Défaur de croissance d'origine alintentaire chet les en fants présentant une forme tétraplegique’ d ‘IMC Le défaut de croissance et létat nutritional ont Aeté appréciés chez 142 enfants presentant une forme tétraplégique d'IMC, Pges de deux à 18 ans. La taille (croissance linéaire) fut déduite des longueurs du bras et de la jambe: les deux moyennes étaient significativement basses. Le poids total moyen et I‘épaisseur moyenne du pli cutané au triceps (appréciant la charge en graisse) étaient réduits à 65 pour cent du médian et le pli cutané sous scapulaire à 81 pour cent du médian. La masse musculaire était la mieux préservée, réduite á 88 pour cent du médian. L'examen de I‘échantillon par groupe d'ǎges démontrait des rAeductions significatives de la croissance et des indicateurs de I‘état nutritional. měme entre deux et quatre ans, sauf pour la masse musculaire. Pour déterminer le degré selon lequel létat nutritional affectait la taille, un ensemble d'analyses de régression à deux échelons a étéétabli. Les mesures de la taille étaient significativement corrélées aux mesures de l‘état nutritionnel. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Ernährungsbedingte Wachstumsverzögerrrng bei Kindern mit Terraplegie Bei 142 Kindern im Alter zwischen zwei und 18 Jahren mit tetraplegischer Cerebralparese wurden Wachstumverzögerung und Ernährungszustand beurteilt. Das lineare Wachstum wurde anhand von Unterarm‐ und Unterschenkellängen bestimmt: beide Manβe waren signifikant vermindert. Das mittlere Körpergewicht und die Hautfattendicke über dem Triceps (Fettspeicher) waren im Mittel auf 65 Prozent und die subscapularen Hautfaltenfettspeicher auf 81 Prozent reduziert. Die Muskelspeicher waren am besten erhalten und im Mittel auf 88 Prozent reduziert. Die Untersuchung einzelner Altersgruppen zeigte selbst bei zweibis vier‐jáhrigen eine signifikante Reduktion der Parameter für Wachstum und Ernährung auβer im muskulären Bereich. Um festzustellen, in welchum Maβe der Ernährungszustand das lineare Wachstum beeinfluβte, wurden Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt. Das lineare Wachstum korrelierte signifikant mit dem Ernährungszustand. RESUMEN Deficiencia en el crecimiento en relaciön con la nutrició...

“…Edwards and Grossman (1980) find a significant correlation between two indicators of cognitive development (an IQ measure, and a measure of school achievement) and several health indicators. The authors use cross-sectional data from the Cycle II of the US Health Examination Survey (HES) which covers children aged 6 to 11 years over the period 1963-65.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe policies for better health, poverty reduction, and less inequality, throughout the world, require thorough understanding of both the processes and causal paths that underlie the intricate relationship between health and wealth (income). This is deemed difficult, contingent, and only partially understood. The adage 'health is wealth' is still, primarily, an intuitive proposition. A vast majority of researchers instead present theoretical and empirical arguments of the reverse proposition, i.e. 'wealth is health'. A recent strand of the literature, however, reflects changes in the perceptions: improvements of health and longevity are no longer viewed as a mere end-or by-product of economic development; but argued as one of the key determinants of, and therefore means to achieve, economic development and poverty reduction. Hence, better health does not have to wait for an improved economy; rather, measures to reduce the burden of disease, to give children healthy childhoods, to increase life expectancy etc. will in themselves contribute to creating richer economies. Drawing on the traditional and emerging perspectives on the health-income relationship, this literature review presents a non-exhaustive survey of existing methodological approaches and their results that are applied to track and measure how health influences economic outcomes.Published as Survey and Overview JEL I10, O40, J11
