Anemia and Infection in School-Aged Egyptian Children
Iron-deficiency anemia and infection are deterrents to optimal child health in many developing countries. We investigated the prevalence of anemia and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), which reflects chronic background infection, recent illness, and diet for 190 children aged 10 to 13 years in 1995 in a Nile Delta village. The children exhibited a high prevalence of anemia (61.6%) and elevated ESR (54.9%). One-third of the children r…
The nutrition transition in Egypt
Objectives: To describe changing food consumption patterns in Egypt over the last several decades, current levels of overweight and obesity, and current data on obesity-related morbidity. Design: Secondary analysis and synthesis of existing data from national-level food consumption surveys, large recent surveys of hypertension and diabetes, and documentation of historical and policy context. Setting: Arab Republic of Egypt. Subjects: As selected …

Prevalence and functional correlates of obesity in an Egyptian village
The objective of this analysis was to investigate obesity and its correlates in 147 men and 286 women 15 to 74 years from the Egyptian project of the Nutrition Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP). According to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS, 1983) standards for body mass index (BMI), nearly twice the proportion of women (25.1 and 10.1%) were overweight or obese compared to men (12.9 and 6.8%), using body mass index (BMI). A…

Dependability and precision of anthropometric measures in a longitudinal field study in an Egyptian village
Reliability and its components, precision and dependability, are analyzed for a complex dataset involving longitudinal anthropometric measurements on subjects of varying ages in an Egyptian village setting. Results are compared with other published datasets. Technical error of measurement is similar to or compares favorably with other datasets for both adults and children. Overall reliability is strongly influenced by dependability coefficients, …
Composition of egyptian home remedies for diarrhea
Diarrhea is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Egypt, as in many developing countries. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) has been shown to be effective for the treatment of dehydration which often occurs during diarrhea. However, malnutrition, a common side effect of diarrheal illness, cannot be prevented or treated by ORT alone; the food and fluids which the child receives during and following diarrhea will determine to a large extent the …
