Abstrakt: Fat absorption was studied in forty-one malnourished children during the initiation and consolidation of their cure. They presented a variable fecal fat content when fed skim milk. In some children, more fat was excreted than consumed. When they were given soya or cow’s milk, similar in fat content, fat absorption was greater and within normal limits in those receiving the soya milk. Those receiving the cow’s milk had moderate steatorrhea which persisted until the balance period performed at the end of the third week.During the consolidation of their cure, when the children were given a mixed diet, fat absorption was shown to be normal and independent of the clinical state on admission. The two kinds of fat used at this stage of the experiment were equally well absorbed.
