日本血吸虫病对少年儿童营养指标及发育的影响

THE IMPACT ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND GROWTH OF CHILDREN DUE TO SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM INFECTION

本文通过病例一对照调查,研究了洞庭湖区日本血吸虫病对少年儿童营养和发育的影响,结果表明,在10个因素中,只有日本血吸虫感染因素有意义,RR高达6.68,证明血吸虫病是该地区影响少年儿童营养不良最危险的因素。病例Ⅰ组4项营养指标和7项发育指标均明显地低于对照组,而且血吸虫病组的PA和血清Ca也明显低于非血吸虫病组,表明血吸虫病对少年儿童的营养和发育有影响。

The impact on nutritional status and growth of children due to Schistosoma japonicum infection in Dongting Lake region was investigated through a case-control study. The paper reported Schistosoma japonicum infection had significant adverse influence on the nutrition status of children in ten indices, and demonstrated that schistosomiasis japonica was the most risky factor (RR = 6. 68) which affected the nutrition status of children. The results of 4 indices of nutrition and 7 indices of physical measurements in case group I were lower than those in the conrtol group, and the serum PA and Ca in case group I were also lower than those in control group. These results in our study indicated that the impact on nutrition status and growth of children was due to schistosomiasis infection in an endemic area.
