Protecting the Pre-school Child
Keyword(s):
This collection of essays, all written by extremely competent individuals, is a very useful introduction for anyone interested in the nutritional needs of pre-school children and their fulfilment. This age group is particularly vulnerable to malnutrition in that these children have less access to good quality protein than an adult, greater nutritional requirements than older children, and they no longer have the source of first quality protein constituted by maternal milk. It is in this age group that the protein-calorie malnutrition syndromes kwashiorkor and marasmus are most often found.
