Factors influencing the growth and nutritional status of infants and young children in a Nigerian village

Two groups (A and B), each of 52 children, were selected from a study population of 405 children. Group A were the children whose weights fell below the 10th percentile at 6, 9 or 12 months of age. Group B were considered to be of satisfactory weight and were always above the 50th percentile at these ages. The children in the two groups were found to retain their relative weight position during the succeeding 4 years. A similar poor or satisfactory weight gain was also found in their younger siblings. The records of the children in these two groups and their families were examined for anthropometric, social, economic and medical factors to try and discover methods of predicting which children were liable to be underweight. Factors were examined under 17 headings. 9 of these were considered to be useful and if they are verified by other studies may be used by those caring for small children in developing countries as ‘Indications for special care.’

Government in Umor: A Study of Social Change and Problems of Indirect Rule in a Nigerian Village Community

Opening ParagraphThe policy of adapting ‘for the purposes of local government the tribal institutions which the native people have evolved themselves, so that the latter may develop in a constitutional manner from their own past’ depends for success on more than a general grasp of the outlines of native social organisation. Native standards of value as expressed in individual and collective behaviour, the operation of balances and checks in the social system, current trends which are tending to cause some institutions and customs to lose strength at the expense of others, and the economic forces that have been or are in the future likely to be operative in the society, must all be analysed and assessed in their mutual relations as interrelated elements in a complex process.
