Abstract

|
|
Growth rate and quality in the young are importantly related to the general nealth and welfare of the individual.
Infancy is the period of most rapid extrauterine growth.
There are many factors influencing growth such as genetic, nutritional, socioeconomic and emotional factors and cultural consideration.
Among these nutrition is the most fundamental factor to the optimal growth.
In most of developing countries poor growth and malnutrition during weaning period are common because of the prolonged breast feeding and improper weaning without supplementary nutriants.
We intended to see the effects of the eduction of the mothers and improvement of weaning diets.
We selected infants registered in the Maternal Child Health Center of Daegu City.
Most of foster mothers of infants were relatively low in eductional level and poor socioeconomic state.
The foster mothers were taught about well baby care and infants were examined monthly by a peditrician and nurse.
We recommended rice. barley, soybean and fish powder mixture as the weaning diets ana vitamin A. D and iron preparations were supplied by Maternal Child Health Center of Daegu City.
Total number of infants in this study were 502 comprising 283 mals and 219 females under 12 months of age.
For evaluation of their development body weight and length were measured monthly from birth through 12 months of age.
We compared their growth pattern of the infants in Maternal Child Health Center with the Korean Children Growth Standard and Japanese Children Growth Standard.
The following results were obtained.
1. Comparing their growth data by sex, in this study the males were superior to females in all measurements.
2. Comparing their growth data between breast milk and mixed fed infants in this study, there were no significant difference between them.
3. Comparing their body weight in this study with Korean Children Growth Standard, their weights were slightly superior to those, of Korean Standard until 6 months in male (3 months in female) and after 6 months (3 months in female) much more superior to those of Korean Standard.
Comparing with their body weight in this study Japaness Children Growth Standard, these were no significant difference between them.
4. Comparing their body length in this study with Korean Children Growth Standard, their lengths were slightly superior to those of Korean Standard until 5 months in male (7 months in female and after 5 months in female) significantly superior to those of Korean Standard.
Comparing their body length with Japanese Children Growthstandard, there were no significant difference between them in both male and female.
5. We found we could improved the special slow growth curve during weaning period from 6 months to 12 months of life. The conclusion from these results is that physical growth in infancy especially during weaning period could be improved by education of the foster mothers and improvement of weaning diets.
