Health impact assessment of proposal to burn tyres in a cement plant
What is health impact assessment and what can it learn from EIA
Towards an epidemiology of positive health
The ways in which operational definitions of negative health have been derived is examined in order to produce analogous definitions of positive health. The nature of positive and negative health has to be considered separately for the different dimensions of health (objective physical, objective mental, objective social and subjective). Talk of positive or negative health presumes a state of ‘neutral’ health and ways in which this may be defined…
Health education and the problem of knowledge
Helping people acquire knowledge has a place in all strategies of health promotion regardless of whether the strategy is based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Behaviour model, the Empowerment model or the Community Action model. Knowledge is one class of belief the others being opinion, dogma and myth or fallacy. Knowledge differs from the other classes in that accepting it as true can be justified. However, in the field of diet and health and in most …
Age-independent anthropometry
The data collected in a mixed cross-sectional longitudinal survey of children in a village in rural Khartoum, Sudan, were analysed in order to identify age-independent anthropometric indices. The mean values of weight/height, weight/height, mid arm circumference, mid arm fat area and triceps skinfold thickness all change little with age over certain parts of the age range. 15% of the boys and 22% of the girls had weights less than 75% of standard…
Growth velocity in children in rural Khartoum, Sudan
The results of a mixed cross-sectional and longitudinal anthropometric survey of Sudanese children up to the age of sixteen years are reported. Weight velocity, height velocity, mid arm circumference velocity, and mid arm muscle circumference velocity, and the age at which 50% of females have reached menarche have been calculated. Growth velocities are lower than for English children and the puberty growth spurts occurs about one year later in Su…
Anthropometric survey of children in rural Khartoum, Sudan
The results of a cross-sectional anthropometric survey of Sudanese children up to the age of thirteen years and six months is reported. Children in whom a quick clinical examination revealed pathology were excluded, as were children who did not have a true birth certificate. Height, weight and mid-arm circumference were measured in all children, head and chest circumference were measured in children up to the age of 5 years and 6 months. Skinfold…
