“…Breast feeding. Regardless of the etiology of a variety of infectious diseases, breast feeding in infancy has been found in numerous studies to prevent or protect children from otitis media, diarrheal diseases, and a number of other infectious diseases (Ellestad-Sayed, Cooden, Drilling, & Hayworth, 1979;Forman et al, 1984;French, 1967;Jason, Nieburg, & Marks, 1984). In these studies, Indian children who were exclusively breast fed the first 6 months were virtually free of otitis media and a number of infectious diseases.…”

The topic considered here is health for Indian children. By necessity, however, this paper focuses on death and disease patterns of Indian and Alaska Native children. The ages considered are from conception through 14 years. As was necessary in the treatment of this topic in Health and Behavior: Frontiers of Research in the Biobehavioral Sciences by the National Academy of Sciences (Hamburg, Elliott, & Parron, 1982), consideration will be given to some adult behaviors and some broader issues which affect the health of children. While limiting the focus to the youthful ages is difficult, in some ways arbitrary, and not a completely accurate representation of reality, it will hopefully serve a heuristic function. It should be particularly useful for the topic of prevention and will allow the health professional to focus far "upstream" to deal with many problems at the source. As will be evident below, a focus on the young is both needed and particularly appropriate for the American Indian population.

“…Several longitudinal or cross‐sectional studies that assessed growth of exclusively breastfed infants for more than 6 months of age are available in low‐income settings (Sidhu et al., ; Khan, ; Kumari et al., ; Rao and Kanade, ) and high‐income settings (French, ; Ahn and MacLean, ; Salmenpera et al., ). Most of them showed a decline in the rate of weight and/or length gain after the age of 6 months (French, ; Sidhu et al., ; Khan, ; Kumari et al., ; Rao and Kanade, ). However, many studies have methodological limitations (e.g.…”

“…The age oisevrage was by far the most statistically significant variable in its association with weight for age, and was second to LIVINGLEVEL in the average magnitude of its effect on nutritional status of the sample population. Many other studies have found the age of sevrage to have an important bearing on nutritional status (Welbourn, 1958;French, 1967;Wray and Aguirre, 1969;Grantham-McGregor and Back, 1970;Antrobus, 1971;Kanaaneh, 1972;Kanawati and McLaren, 1973;Shanghai CHCCG, 1974;Mata, 1978).

Factors associated with nutritional status among young children in St. Vincent

A survey was undertaken in 1975 in St. Vincent, West Indies, among the mothers of nearly all children from one to two years old in two towns. The mean weight for age was 85 percent of the Boston Standard and the mean weight for height was 92.5 percent of the standard. Levels of malnutrition were similar to those found in a national survey eight years earlier.Using multiple regression analysis, the variable which had by far the greatest impact on nutritional status (weight for age) was economic level of living. Next in importance came length of breastfeeding, attendance at postnatal clinics, and (with a negative association) the number of siblings.Efforts to solve the EPM problem must seek to eradicate poverty, but should not neglect the importance of breastfeeding, child spacing, and appropriate health care.
