在巴勒斯坦，儿童和育龄妇女中仍然存在贫血症。我们调查了拉马拉和希布伦两省巴勒斯坦学校青少年（13-15岁）的贫血患病率和相关因素。测量血红蛋白水平，以评估贫血的患病率。希伯伦男孩的贫血患病率明显高于拉马拉（分别为22.5%和6.0%），而女孩的数字相似（分别为9.2%和9.3%）。线性二项回归分析表明，在男孩中，贫血与居住在希布伦和较高的生活水平独立相关，而在女孩中，贫血与父亲的教育程度较高相关。食物频率问卷中记录的富铁食物消费对男孩和女孩的贫血患病率没有显著影响。
Anaemia still persists among children and women of childbearing age in Palestine. We investigated the prevalence of anaemia and associated factors among Palestinian school adolescents (aged 13-15 years) in Ramallah and Hebron governorates. Haemoglobin levels were measured to assess the prevalence of anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia was significantly higher in Hebron than in Ramallah among boys (22.5% versus 6.0% respectively), while among girls the figures were similar (9.2% and 9.3% respectively). Linear binomial regression analysis showed that among boys, anaemia was independently associated with residence in Hebron and higher standard of living, while among girls, anaemia was associated with higher father's education. Consumption of iron-rich foods, as recorded in food frequency questionnaires, had no significant effects on anaemia prevalence in both boys and girls.
