Rickets and the rest: Child-care, diet and the infectious children's diseases, 1850-1914 (1992)

unapi

Description “The factors which influenced the prevalence and severity of rickets are examined, and the contribution of the disease to fatality in whooping cough and measles assessed. It is suggested that a small reduction in the prevalance or severity of rickets could have been critical in producing the downturn in whooping cough fatality, and that this was achieved less through dietary improvement than through changing childcare practices.” From the summary.
