Deprivation and mortality
Obesity
Overweight and obesity prevalences increased during the 1980s and 1990s in the USA 1 and in Europe. 2 Belgium is no exception to this trend. Using a sub-sample of working men (aged 40-54), the Belgian Interuniversity Research on Nutrition and Health (BIRNH) study showed that prevalence of obesity rose from 9% in 1978 to 15% in 1993. 2 Recent findings have shown that overweight and obesity diVered in areas within a region or country, 1 3 but that …
The unseen face of humanitarian crisis in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Humanitarian Aid and Health Services in Eastern Kivu, Zaire
The population of eastern Kivu, like that of Rwanda, has been surviving in critical conditions for many years. The Rwandan refugees of 1994 fled into an area with its own serious problems. The Zaïrean health services in the health districts of Rutshuru, Kirotshe and Masisi, in spite of the political and socioeconomic disintegration of the country, were still functioning, and the local hospitals and health centres, although overwhelmed, contribute…
The Role of the Zairian Health Services in the Rwandan Refugee Crisis
In July 1994, a stream of Rwandan refugees entered the southern part of North Kivu Region, Zaire. The public health consequences of this crisis for the host population and health services have not been analysed up to now. The lack of human and financial resources did not prevent Zairian health structures and personnel from taking care of the many refugees settled outside the camps, following their arrival. The public health consequences of the cr…
Can improvements in water supply reduce childhood diarrhoea
The effects of improving the water supply on the incidence of diarrhoea in 1096 children from three neighbouring villages of the Kirotshe rural health district. Northern Kivu, Zaire were investigated. Two of these villages had piped water, while the third village had no such facility. Children aged under four years on registration were visited fortnightly for one year. Median diarrhoea incidence per two weeks proved to be significantly lower in t…
Pattern of attained growth in 0 to 5 year‐old children from Kivu (Zaire)
Anthropometric data of 18,211 under‐fives were collected in three health districts in the Northern Kivu (Zaire). These data were compared with each other, the international reference data set, the local reference data set, and with other data from Zaire. Analysis produced evidence of severe nutritional problems which are a great cause of concern in the Kivu Highlands. Important implications of the study are that intra‐uterine growth and growth du…
