Synopsis
Excerpt from The Effect of Tropical Sunlight on the Development of Bones of Children in Puerto Rico: A Roentgenographic and Clinical Study of Infants and Young Children With Special Reference to Rickets and Related Factors
The investigation upon which this report was based was planned and carried out under the direct supervision of Dr. Martha M. Eliot, director of the child-hygiene division of the Children's Bureau, who is also the author of the report. The medical examinations were made with the assistance of Dr. Edith B. Jackson. The study of economic and social factors was made by staff members of the Bureau experienced in social investigation.
The Bureau is indebted to the staff members of the Department of Health of Puerto Rico and of the Presbyterian Hospital in San Juan, of the Hospital Asilo des Damas in Ponce, and of the School of Tropical Medicine, University of Puerto Rico, in San Juan. Their interest and cooperation made the investigation possible.
Thanks are especially due to Dr. E. A. Park, of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, formerly of the Yale University School of Medicine, for his assistance and interest in the planning of the investigation and the interpretation of the results.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the legacy of tropical sunlight on the development of bones in children of Puerto Rico. Conducted in the 1920s, the study compares the skeletal health of these children to their peers in the continental US, drawing connections between sunlight exposure, nutrition, and disease in the region. The author establishes that rickets is a significant health concern in the population studied and discusses its impact on growth and overall well-being. The research contributes to our understanding of the environmental and socioeconomic factors that influence child development and health outcomes, especially in tropical regions where sunlight exposure is high and access to adequate nutrition and medical care may be limited. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390519303_0
