Serum studies in 90 randomly selected lactating women of three socioeconomic (low, middle and high) and age (below 25, 26-32 and above 33 years) groups of Faisalabad, Pakistan, revealed an overall concentration of Β-carotene and vitamin-A to be 170.12 ± 88.64 and 54.72 ± 22.69 μg/100ml, respectively. The Β-carotene and vitamin-A showed non-significant difference between socioeconomic and age groups, however, Β-carotene was relatively higher in young women and those belonging to higher socioeconomic group, whereas vitamin-A was relatively higher in old women and those belonging to middle socioeconomic group. The serum total proteins, albumin, globulins and A:G ratio during present study was 5.48 ± 1.24 g/100ml, 2.82 ± 1.27 g/100ml, 2.68?1.44 g/100ml and 1.66 ± 1.78 g/100ml, respectively. The total proteins and albumin showed non-significant difference between socioeconomic and age groups while globulins and A:G ratio revealed higher (P<0.05) values in high and middle socioeconomic groups, respectively. |

Milk studies within two days post delivery in 90 randomly selected women of three socio-economic (low, middle and high) and three age groups (< 25, 26-32 and > 33 years) of Faisalabad, Pakistan, revealed an overall concentration of vitamin-A to be 718.85 RE/L. The milk vitamin-A showed non-significant difference between socio-economic groups, but was higher (P<0.01) in women of > 33 years (863.41 RE/L) of age. The mean specific gravity of milk was 1.0265±264 and the pH was 7.0876 and showed non-significant difference in socio-economic and age groups. The mean total milk proteins was 1.31±4 per cent and was higher (P<0.05) in women of 26-32 years of age, however, it showed non-significant difference between socio-economic groups. The mean milk lactose and fat was 5.76±5 and 2.89±3 per cent, respectively and showed non-significant difference between socio-economic and age groups. |

The study was conducted on 80 male children, divided into three age groups (5-7, 8-10 and 11-12 years). These children were graded into five grades of malnutrition including normal following the criteria of Jelliffe (Alleyne et al., 1978). The results revealed 47.22 per cent normal children while 16.66, 22.22, 11.11 and 2.77 per cent were suffering from Ist, 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree of malnutrition, respectively. Overall means of children categorized in various degrees of malnutrition showed non-significant difference in haemoglobin, RBC, PCV and erythrocytic indices. However, RBC, Hb and PCV values were less in children graded in 4th degree of malnutrition. Hb showed significantly lower (P<0.05) levels in children graded into 3rd than first degree of malnutrition of 8-10 years. However, RBC count was significantly higher (P<0.05) in 3rd than 2nd degree of malnutrition in children of 11-12 years, while PCV was relatively higher in the same subjects of this age group. In overall, 45 per cent of children had less than normal haemoglobin, RBC or both. Out of these, 19.44 per cent showed normocytic hypochromic, 30.55 showed normocytic normochromic, 8.33 microcytic hypochromic, 13.88 microcytic normochromic, 13.88 macrocytic hypochromic and 13.88 per cent showed macrocytic normochromic anaemia. Serum total proteins showed non-significant difference in children graded in various degrees of malnutrition, however, the values in normal subjects were relatively lower than those graded into various degrees of malnutrition. |
