ORIGINAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS

The school health service as a means of entry into the inner-city family for the identification of malnourished children

RJ Karp, M Nuchpakdee, J Fairorth and JM Gorman

Fourteen (10%) of 143 inner-city school children evaluated during the year of entry into elementary school were found to have short stature, to be underweight, and to have reduced subcutaneous fat deposition. These conditions were found to be associated with hematological characteristics of poor nutrition, and therefore, these children were considered to be "at risk" for malnutrition. Investigation into the homes of the at risk children revealed a single family in which no food was available for consumption.
