| Abstract | ||||
| The anthropometric measurements (height/age, weight.«’age& body mass index‘ (intelligence quotient (IO score) and some Hematological indices (I-Ib, TIBC& serum iron) were assessed for fifty male adolescents residents aged 12-16 years of Dar El-Tarbia in Giza. The study revealed that about two third (68%) of cases were stunted.l Meanwhile, 34% of them were under weight. None of the adolescents were above the‘ normal height /age or weight/age according to the used standard reference (WI-IO, 1995)The majority of the adolescents under study (84%) had normal BMI. Concerning hemoglobin concentration, the results obtained were relatively close to reference Hb value (mean Hb level=11.8 g/dl). The majority of the adolescents (90&94%) had normal levels of TIB Candserum iron, respectively. The mean of standard deviation and IQ scores estimated to be 95.28+1502 that considered close to the norm for IQ l test. There are significant correlations between time of residence in rehabilitation center and each of Hb concentration &serum iron (p < 0.05). | ||||
