  • Serum protein and erythrocyte enzyme polymorphisms in twelve population groups of Hungary

    H W Goedde, A Czeizel et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger1995

    The distribution of the serum proteins C3, TF, HP, GC, BF, AMY2, PLG, GM, and KM and the erythrocyte enzyme polymorphisms GLO, GPT, ESD, ACP, 6-PGD, ADA, AK, PGM1 and PGP amongst twelve population groups in Hungary was investigated. Gene frequencies and genetic distances are discussed in relation to the present geographical locations of these groups and their probable history of migration.

  • Alcohol use, abuse, and alcohol-related disorders among ethnic groups in Hungary. Part II

    D P Agarwal, Heide G Benkmann et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger1995References: 1

    An epidemiological study on alcohol drinking habits, alcohol metabolism rate, alcohol-related acute physiological symptoms, and alcohol misuse among Palócs, an ethnic minority in Hungary, was conducted. The demographic and sociocultural correlates revealed their ethnic identity: low to moderate education, relatively low number of children per family and higher percentage of skilled workers among males. Alcohol use survey revealed that frequency o…

  • Some epidemiological data on spontaneous abortion in Hungary, 1971-80

    A Czeizel, R Evan Wallace et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1984Cited by: 2References: 7

    A population based survey of women who had spontaneous abortion in Hungary between 1971 and 1980 has been evaluated. Individual data sheets completed by specialists in obstetrical institutions were used. The ratio of spontaneous abortions was 13.1% during the whole period studied but declined during the decade. The maximum occurrence was in the fifth to eighth week of gestation, when more than 40% of all spontaneous abortions occurred. Thereafter…

  • Mortality and morbidity associated with legal abortions in Hungary, 1960-1973

    Zita Bognár, Andrew E Czeizel et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1976

    In Hungary, with 10 million inhabitants, the number of induced abortions in the 1960's first approached and then reached 200,000 cases annually. These data mean that the number of induced abortions has increased substantially compared with earlier decades. A qualitative change has also occurred, from criminal abortions to, in most cases, legally induced abortions performed in hospitals. On the basis of 32 deaths directly resulting from legal indu…

  • Incidence of congenital dislocation of the hip in Hungary

    Andrew E Czeizel, A Czeizel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1974

    Of the 18,219 live births registered in Békés County (Hungary) in the period 1970-72, 523 infants came to treatment for congenital dislocation of the hip. The diagnosis was verified by radiography. The incidence of 28·7 per 1,000 live births is consistent with the values noted in a previous study conducted in Budapest. Differences in applying diagnostic criteria, the high proportion of first-born infants, the unhealthy swaddling customs, and the …

  • Congenital dislocation of the hip in Budapest, Hungary

    Andrew E Czeizel, A Czeizel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1972References: 9

    For the last few years nearly all newborn infants born in Budapest, a city of two million inhabitants, have received an orthopaedic examination which includes a screening test for congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH). Suspected cases of CDH were kept under observation and received treatment if necessary. In this way a total of 3,000 treated cases born between 1962 and 1967 became available for study

  • Changes in mean birth weight and proportion of low-weight births in Hungary

    Andrew E Czeizel, A Czeizel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1970

    The high incidence of low-weight births (not exceeding 2,500g.) is a serious public health problem in Hungary where the deaths of low birth weight babies accounted for 68-4% of the infant mortality and 83-0% of the first week mortality in 1967. The proportion of low-weight births is probably higher in Hungary than in any other European country and appears to be increasing (Table The work pre- sented here is an attempt to investigate the reasons f…

  • Major malformations of the central nervous system in Hungary

    Andrew E Czeizel, A Czeizel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1970References: 18

    Data on all major central nervous system mal formations which occurred in children born in Budapest in the years 1963-67 were collected. They were divided into four categories?anencephaly, spina bifida cystica, encephalo-meningocele, and congenital hydrocephalus. During the period of the survey, 99*7 % of Budapest deliveries took place in hospital; in Hungary the proportion was 97-8%. Data were compiled from the following sources: (1) all of the …

  • Studies on the fertility of radiologists

    Open AccessAndrew E Czeizel, A Czeizel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1969

    Reproductive performance and some of the more important features of their progeny were studied in 755 radiologists and in 346 laboratorians as controls in order to investigate the possible genetic injuriousness of ionizing radiation. Significant differences were found only in fertility: the fertility of female radiologists was significantly lower than that of the female laboratorians and of the wives of male radiologists. This phenomenon is proba…
