This study was carried out on refugees who had fled the turmoil in Iraq and were hosted atthe eastern border of Jordan. We assessed the nutritional status of 325 children aged 6 months-10 years and 452 females aged 10-72 years, and evaluated the food rations supplied by the UNHCR. Dietary, anthropometric and laboratory indicators were determined. For females and children respectively, prevalence rates were: anaemia 45% and 75%, iron deficiency 44% and 64%, and vitamin A deficiency 6% and 28%. Rationed foods supplied little of some micronutrients: only 33% of vitamin A needs were met. Dietary supplementation for refugees in camps is always warranted.
本研究对象为逃离伊拉克动乱而来到约旦东部边境的难民。我们评估了 325 名 6 个月至 10 岁儿童和 452 名 10 至 72 岁女性的营养状况，并评估了难民署提供的食物配给。确定了饮食、人体测量和实验室指标。对于女性和儿童，分别有：贫血症 45%和 75%，缺铁症 44%和 64%，维生素 A 缺乏症 6%和 28%。配给食物中某些微量营养素含量很少：仅满足了 33%的维生素 A 需求。营地难民的膳食补充始终是必要的。
