I-Scurvy, isifo esibangelwa ukunqongophala kwevithamin C ekutyeni kufuneka ingabikho, nangona kunjalo kwakukho iingxelo ezininzi zeemeko zescurvy phakathi kwabantwana, ngakumbi phakathi kwabo banezidingo ezikhethekileyo ngenxa yokuphazamiseka kophuhliso. Oogqirha bamazinyo bakwimeko eyodwa yokuququzelela ukuxilongwa kweemeko ezinjalo kunyango.
Scurvy, isifo esibangelwa kukunqongophala vitamin C ekutyeni, okwakuqhelekile kwimihla yakudala, ngakumbi phakathi koomatiloshe okanye oomatiloshe ababengenakufikelela kwiziqhamo ezitsha kunye nemifuno kangangeenyanga ezininzi kwaye bexhomekeke kakhulu ekupakishweni okugciniweyo. ukutya ukuze uphile, ngelixa uhamba uhambo olude kulwandle oluphezulu. Kodwa oku akunjalo ngoku. Isayensi emva koku iqondwa kakuhle kwaye isifo sicingelwa ukuba sinqabile kwaye asikho, ngakumbi kumazwe e-OECD.
Nangona kunjalo, nantsi into eyothusayo - i-scurvy iyaqhubeka nokubakho phakathi abantwana!
Iqela lophando elikhokelwa nguProf Priyanshi Ritwik IYunivesithi yaseTexas ibonise amatyala amabini kwaye emva kokuphonononga iingxelo ezifanelekileyo ze-scurvy phakathi kwabantwana ezipapashwe ngolwimi lwesiNgesi ukususela ngo-2009, zifumene iimeko ezininzi njenge-77 ezibonisa ukuba i-scurvy iyaqhubeka nokuchaphazela abantwana ngokukodwa abo baneengxaki zonyango okanye zophuhliso kunye / okanye zithintelwe. ukutya.
Iqela liqaphele ukubonakaliswa kwescurvy emlonyeni (okufana nokudumba nokopha kwentsini) yabantwana eye yathomba ekuqalweni konyango lwevithamin C.
Inani elixelwe kolu phononongo alizange liquke iimeko ezichazwe kwezinye iilwimi. Ukuxhaphaka ngokubanzi kwescurvy kunokuba phezulu kakhulu ukuba iimeko zixelwe ngezinye iilwimi kunye neemeko zabantwana ezingaxelwanga (kunye nabantu abadala) naphi na emhlabeni. abanonopheli babantwana abaneemfuno ezizodwa ngenxa yeemeko zokukhula kunye/okanye ukutya okuthintelweyo kunye nabezonyango abanoxanduva lokhathalelo lwempilo yomlomo yabo bantwana.
Kukho uluvo oluqhelekileyo lokuba i-scurvy ayiqhelekanga nto leyo kunye nokungacaci kweempawu, yenza ukuxilongwa kube nzima, ngamanye amaxesha. Ugqirha jikelele akakwazi ukubandakanya iimpawu ezingezizo ezodwa kwi-scurvy ngenxa yembono yokuba ayikho kumazwe athuthukileyo. Oogqirha bamazinyo abaya kubantwana, nangona kunjalo, banokuba kwindawo ekhethekileyo yokuqhuba ukuxilongwa kwayo. Unyango lulula ngokufanelekileyo.
