For the purpose to study the diet, salt intake, growth, blood pressure of a protective institutionchildren, 31 children (M 18, F 13) of 16 to 27 months old admitted in an institution were followed up for one year from April, 1975 to March, 1976. The results obtained are as follows:
(1) The average height of the boys was 0.6cm lower than that of Japanese standard children at the beginning of this study, and it reached 1.2cm above that after one year. The height of the girls exceeded 0.6cm the standard at the beginning, but the difference was estimated 2.2cm at the end.
(2) The average weight of the boys which was about the same level as the standard at the beginning exceeded 0.5kg the standard at the end. The weight of the girls exceeding 0.4kg the standard at the beginning was 1.25kg over that after one year.
(3) The average Kaup index remained in the 16's throughout the study period.
(4) The supplies of total energy, protein, lipid, and calcium throughout 12 months were 1197±42.9Cal., 47.2±1.3g, 31.4±2.0g, 637±29.3mg, respectively. The protein and calcium supplies were about 10g and 200mg more than the Japanese recommended dietary allowances, respectively.
(5) The energy and protein supply per kg body weight of both sexes were 97Cal. and 3.8g, respectively.
(6) The frequency of leftover meals was about 2 times per month per child in both sexes, though it increased to 7-8 times per child during the period of smallpox prevalence in July.
