The children of Santa María Cauqué : a prospective field study of health and growth

Resumen

This study of the natural history of health and growth of children was conceived in Boston, was born and grew in Guatemala, and matured in Seattle. In Boston the concept of a study in a developing rural region and the plans to carry it out were developed and fertilized by discussions with teacherd and friends. The choice of Guatemala for the field work was logical in view of my own origin in Central America and a personal familiarity with the area.
