Abstract
A comparison between two groups of children, one showing the poor and another the good appetite, as defind in the previous paper, at the both periods of infancy and the time of survey indicated that the latter had the higher distribution of the large sized and the lower distribution of the small sized in height and weight than the former.
The health condition of the children evaluated from inclination to illness, soundness of sleep, aptitude to weariness, physical activity, and the incidence of dental caries was inferior in the poor appetite group than in the good appetite one except the status of the dental caries.
Though it is unknown which of appetite and the physical status in the said relationship is the cause or the result, some measure should be better taken to promote adequate appetite in these children with poor appetite.
