Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book examines the prevalence of rickets, a condition prevalent in the early 20th century due to the intersection of poor housing and malnutrition. The author analyzes housing conditions in densely populated low-income areas, showing how lack of space, air, and sunlight damaged children's growth and led to the high incidence of rickets. The author further discusses how these factors - especially sunlight and fresh air - could be harnessed to prevent or lessen the severity of the condition. Through research on over 1000 children, the author makes a strong case for viewing rickets as largely an environmental rather than a nutritional disease. While nutritional deficiencies certainly exacerbated the condition, the author argues that poor housing was the primary cause. A historical account of the incidence of rickets, this book sheds light on a disease that afflicted countless children for centuries. It further invites consideration of the ways in which the relationship between housing and health remains relevant today. 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.…
