小肠疾病(通过乳果糖(L)：甘露醇(M)渗透试验进行评估)是冈比亚婴儿生长迟缓和营养不良的主要因素。然而，关于它的持久性和超过2岁的营养效应，人们知之甚少。这是通过对居住在冈比亚农村三个村庄的162名2-60岁居民的肠道通透性和营养状况进行的两项横断面研究来解决的。L：M的比值在最小的儿童中最高，虽然随着年龄的增长有显著的改善(P
Small bowel enteropathy (assessed by the lactulose (L) : mannitol (M) permeability test) is a major factor in infant growth faltering and malnutrition in The Gambia. However, little is known about its persistence and nutritional effect beyond 2 years of age. This was addressed by two cross-sectional studies of intestinal permeability and nutritional status in 162 residents, aged 2-60 years, living in three villages in rural Gambia. L:M ratio was found to be highest in the youngest children and although there was a significant improvement with age (P
