肠道感染和营养不良的病因、危险因素和相互作用以及儿童健康和发展的后果 (MAL-ED) 研究的坦桑尼亚海多姆 (TZH) 地点 (TZH) 位于坦桑尼亚中北部，距离最近的城市中心 300 公里。 TZH位于一个偏远的农村地区，大多数人口都是农牧民，以种植玉米作为主粮。家庭平均人口为 7 人。平均妇女平均生育 6 人，有 1 名儿童死亡。社会经济指标很差，基本上没有家庭用上电、自来水或改善的卫生设施（全国报告的这一比例分别为 14%、7% 和 12%）。坦桑尼亚 2004 年人口健康调查表明，该地区发育迟缓和体重不足的比例很高（20 岁以下儿童的 40% 和 31%）
The Haydom, Tanzania, site (TZH) of The Etiology, Risk Factors and Interactions of Enteric Infections and Malnutrition and the Consequences for Child Health and Development (MAL-ED) Study is in north-central Tanzania, 300 km from the nearest urban center. TZH is in a remote rural district where most of the population are agropastoralists and grow maize as the staple food. The average household size is 7. The average woman achieves a parity of 6 and has 1 child death. Socioeconomic indicators are poor, with essentially no household having access to electricity, piped water, or improved sanitary facilities (compared with 14%, 7%, and 12%, respectively, reported nationally).
