چکیده
Editor's Note: Perhaps the best definition of a classic in science is a publication that redefines or initiates a field of scientific inquiry. Rarely is that contribution made by a review article, but such was the case with the article excerpted below, which was expanded into a World Health Organization monograph (WHO Monograph Series no. 57, Geneva, 1968). The many hundreds of articles reviewed and cited in these seminal publications by Scrimshaw, Taylor, and Gordon are exceeded only by the many more that they have stimulated. ________________________________________________________
