NATIONAL NUTRITIONAL SURVEY OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

CHARLES U. LOWE M.D.1

1 Chairman, Committee on Nutrition, Gainesville, Florida

IN THE past year, several commentaries in Pediatrics have directed the attention of readers to problems confronting the medical community in general and the pediatrician in particular. The first step toward dealing with one of these problems, malnutrition in certain segments of the American population, has been taken. The Children's Bureau has announced the funding of a nutrition survey of the preschool children of the United States.

It was suggested at the First White House Conference on Health that American medicine, while the best in the world, is poorly distributed. Many of the poor in our cities and in a number of rural districts get medical care which is inadequate in both quantity and in quality.
