Many reports on Iraq proclaimed a rise in rates of death and disease since the Gulf War of January/February 1991. Several of the studies on nutritional status are not readily accessible, and few have been compared to identify secular trends. Here, 27 studies examining nutrition among Iraqi children in the 1990s are reviewed. Only five studies were found to be of comparable methodologic quality. These are analyzed to identify major trends in child nutrition between August 1991 and June 1999. Limitations of existing studies and recommendations for future studies are discussed.
许多关于伊拉克的报告宣称，自1991年1月/2月海湾战争以来，死亡和疾病发生率有所上升。关于营养状况的几项研究不易获取，而且很少有研究被用来比较以确定长期趋势。在此，对20世纪90年代27项关于伊拉克儿童营养状况的研究进行综述。仅发现五项研究在方法学质量上具有可比性。对这些研究进行分析，以确定1991年8月至1999年6月期间儿童营养的主要趋势。讨论了现有研究的局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
