Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the legacy of tropical sunlight on the development of bones in children of Puerto Rico. Conducted in the 1920s, the study compares the skeletal health of these children to their peers in the continental US, drawing connections between sunlight exposure, nutrition, and disease in the region. The author establishes that rickets is a significant health concern in the population studied and discusses its impact on growth and overall well-being. The research contributes to our understanding of the environmental and socioeconomic factors that influence child development and health outcomes, especially in tropical regions where sunlight exposure is high and access to adequate nutrition and medical care may be limited. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390519303_0
