In a review of almost 1,100 autopsies in Ugandan children from birth to 15 years of age an analysis was made of body and brain weights. The results were grouped by age categories and divided into two groups according to whether or not the final diagnosis indicated malnutrition. For each age group the mean body weight of the Uganda children at autopsy is below the reference standards, especially depressed with malnutrition.
