Nutritional deficiencies continue to plague many children in resource-limited areas. Current knowledge in the “developed” world is not always adequate in determining how to care
for affected children in “developing” countries,
and fresh research can be useful in helping children
all over the world. Using examples of studies of generalized malnutrition and of deficiencies of calcium, vitamin D, and thiamine, participants will gain an understanding of how low-cost investigations carried out in resource-limited areas can have high-yield in advancing science and in curing children.
