  • Seroepidemiology of rubella in Saudi Arabia

    Mohamed Ahmed Abdullah, Gazi Jamjoom et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1984References: 10

    Rubella haemagglutination antibodies were tested for in sera of 1793 unvaccinated subjects with age ranging from birth to 40 years. This was to assess the immune status of the population and to see the feasibility of introduction and the proper age for rubella vaccination in a Saudi community. Those with titres of greater than or equal to 1:8 were considered as seropositive. The lowest level of antibodies was seen among the 10-18 month age group.…

  • Epidemiology of accidental home poisoning in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)

    A H Mahdi, Amina Mahdi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1983References: 8

    In a prospective study on 178 cases of accidental home poisoning admitted to the main children's hospital in Riyadh poisoning was found to account for 5.6% of the total annual admissions--greater than any other developing country and approaching Western proportions. The commonest ages were between 1 and 5 years. Drugs accounted for 52% of cases and household products for 46%. This picture also differs from the pattern of poisoning in developing c…

  • Nutritional status of preschool children in central Saudi Arabia

    Mohammad Abdullah, M A Abdullah et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1982

    The nutritional status of 337 preschool children (aged 0–5) living in two rural Saudi villages was assessed by clinical examination and measuring weight‐for‐age, weight‐for‐height and height‐for‐age. Only 39.2 percent were found to have normal weight‐for‐age. The weight‐for‐height was normal in 76.3 percent, whereas 33.7 percent were considered as wasted (weight‐for‐height less than 90 percent of standard). Wasting was commonest among the 12–23 m…

  • Ecological factors underlying protein‐calorie malnutrition in an irrigated area of the Sudan

    S A TahaARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1979

    A community survey was undertaken in 14 villages in the Gezira farming region of the Sudan to determine the causes of malnutrition which is prevalent in the area. Low expenditure on food, poor housing conditions, and poor hygiene were found to result from low income. While the ultimate goal should be improvement of income, quicker results will accrue from tackling the equally important dietary causes which result from ignorance about child feedin…

  • Household food consumption in five villages in the Sudan

    S A Taha, Salah A Ali TahaARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1978

    The intake of energy and protein in five villages belonging to a farming community in the Sudan was measured using the 24‐hour recall method, as part of a study to assess their nutritional status. The average per capita per day protein intake was found to be adequate, but the average per capita per day energy intake was found to be deficient. The percentage satisfaction of the latter was 93. Food intake of the vulnerable groups was not related to…
