Several high risk factors were evaluated in an attempt to determine the Egyptian children who are more prone to become malnourished. The study included 110 children with energy protein malnutrition and 98 normal children. Their ages were between 4 months and 3 years. Among the factors investigated, the 2nd 6 months of life was found to be the most critical for nutritional deficiency. Presence of previous siblings with malnutrition, presence of more than 2 sibling deaths and presence of history of severe diarrhoea with dehydration were significantly related to the nutritional status of children. Twinning, birth order and birth interval showed some relation to malnutrition but were not statistically significant. The sex of the child and maternal weight did not influence the nutritional state of children. However, these low-socialclass children were found to be mostly (92.8%) breast fed.
为了确定更易患营养不良的埃及儿童，对多个高危因素进行了评估。该研究纳入了110名患有能量蛋白质营养不良的儿童和98名正常儿童。他们的年龄在4个月至3岁之间。在所调查的因素中，发现生命的第二个6个月对营养缺乏最为关键。之前有兄弟姐妹患营养不良、有超过2个兄弟姐妹死亡以及有严重腹泻伴脱水病史与儿童的营养状况显著相关。双胞胎、出生顺序和出生间隔与营养不良有一定关系，但无统计学意义。儿童的性别和母亲体重不影响儿童的营养状况。然而，这些社会阶层较低的儿童大多（92.8%）是母乳喂养。
