The Biology of Human Starvation was first published in 1950.
Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make
long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published
unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press
editions.With great areas of the world battling the persistent and
basic problem of hunger, this work constitutes a major contribution
to needed scientific knowledge. The publication is a definitive
treatise on the morphology, biochemistry, physcology, psychology,
and medical aspects of calorie undernutrition, cachexia,
starvation, and rehabilitation in man. Presented critically and
systematically are the fact and theory from the world literature,
including the evidence from World War II and the finding of the
Minnesota Starvation Experiment (1944*1946). Pertinent experiments
and field and clinical observations to 1949 are covered. The
extensive original research involved was conducted at the
University of Minnesota Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene, which
Dr. Keys heads. The authors, all of the laboratory staff, were
assisted in preparation of the work by Ernst Simonson, Samuel Wells
and Angie Sturgeon Skinner.
