Abstract
The relationship of race and sex to the occurrence of twelve selected tissue changes commonly associated with malnutrition was assessed in 2,729 nonpregnant and 702 pregnant nutrition clinic patients. Race and, to a lesser extent, sex appeared related to the frequency of individual tissue changes, although not of total lesions. These relationships varied with patient age and body weight. Pregnancy was not associated with a significant difference in the over-all frequency of tissue changes, but may have been related to the occurrence of certain individual lesions.Keywords
