  abstract = {{T}he effects of the energy density of gruels on energy and protein intake and the nutrition status of 148 hospitalized malnourished children age 3 to 24 months were determined under standardized conditions. {S}everely malnourished children consumed significantly more high- or low-energy-density gruels than children less affected. {T}he feeding of high-energy-density (1.0 kcal/ml) versus low-energy-density gruels (0.5 kcal/ml) allows for a significant increase in mean energy and protein intakes from gruels : 29.4 plus or minus 2.1 ({SE}) versus 18.9 plus or minus 1.4 kcal/kg/day (p < 0.001), 1.10 plus or minus 0.07 versus 0.75 plus or minus 0.05 g/kg/day (p < 0.001). {T}he mean serum albumin concentration tended to increase more for children consuming high-energy-density gruels. {T}hese data emphasize the interest of high-energy-density gruels in the rehabilitation of severely malnourished children.
