Abstract
Nutrition research workers in the agricultural experiment stations of the North Central Region and the Home Economics Nutrition Research Branch, USDA, entered into cooperative arrangements in October 1947 to investigate the nutritional status and dietary needs of older women and of school children. This was a part of a nation-wide study of the nutritional status of various population groups for which partial financial support was provided by the Research and Marketing Act of 1946
