“…This finding is important because Burke, Harding, and Stuart (1943) then found a consistent parallel between protein intake of mothers during the last 6 months of pregnancy and the heights and weights of the infants. Dieckmann et al (1951) also noted a significant increase in the physical health of babies as the consumption of protein was increased during the mother's pregnancy.…”

Inadequate nutrition can affect both physiological and psychological development in humans. The nine months of gestation and the first few years of life are the most critical in the growth of brain tissue, and are also the periods of greatest vulnerability to malnutrition. Some variables that mediate the effect of nutrition on mental development include prematurity, birth weight, and the nutritional status of the mother during her childhood. A model for thorough research is suggested and is used to evaluate the major studies of the relationship between malnutrition and mental deficiency.

The relocation and analysis of 80 skeletons from the Cedar Grove Cemetery, located in southwest Arkansas, provides an opportunity to examine the level of health and nutrition experienced by Afro-Americans in the post-Reconstruction South (1878-1930). The demographic profile lends support to the interpretation that Cedar Grove participated in the nationwide decline in Afro-American health. The high frequencies of skeletal lesions indicative of dietary deficiencies and infectious disease demonstrate that this was a highly stressed population. For this analysis, adult femoral thin sections (15 females and 14 males) are examined histologically. These data provide support to the assertion that the Cedar Grove population experienced poor health. Measures taken from the sections include cortical thickness, percent cortical area, and mean number of resorption spaces and forming osteons per square millimeter of bone. As a group, they demonstrate low percent cortical area compared with well-nourished normals. They also show high rates of resorption to formation, thereby disrupting the balance necessary for normal cortical bone maintenance. The pattern established for bone porosity in this group is not a function of age but rather is due to other factors, most likely nutrition and disease stress. What may be unique about this group is that males, as well as females, experienced problems with calcium homeostasis and normal maintenance and repair of bone. Taken together, these data support the interpretation that diet and health were substandard in the post-Reconstruction South.

Carcinogenic and possible mutagenic effects of stilboestrol in offspring exposed in utero

The relevant literature has been reviewed and it appears that there is no doubt that in utero exposure to stilboestrol is related to the eventual development of vaginal adenocarcinoma in young females. Although cancer of other types are also prevalent, the incidence is not great and may be related to other types of drugs taken during pregnancy. The review attempts to correlate the genetic effects with the abnormal development, but on account of the scarcity of data such correlation is not possible. Further work on the genetic effects and the development of the lower genital tract in the female needs to be carried out.
