Inbreeding effects on fetal growth in Beirut, Lebanon.

Effects of consanguineous marriages on offspring's gestational age and anthropometrics at birth were investigated in Beirut through a hospital-based survey of 1,252 newborns. Twenty-five percent of all newborns were inbred, and the mean inbreeding coefficient was 1.25%. Neither prematurity rate nor weight, length, head circumference, and chest circumference (considered individually, or as a whole) showed a significant pattern by type of parental consanguinity. Failure to demonstrate significant inbreeding effects is reported in several other studies and generally interpreted as the long-term result of continued inbreeding practices.

Preoccupation with weight and disordered eating behaviors of entering students at a university in Lebanon.

OBJECTIVES: This research explores the prevalence of preoccupation with weight indicators and disordered eating behaviors among entering university students, and identifies factors associated with these indicators and behaviors. METHOD: Data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Comparisons were made by gender, mother's education, and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS: The final sample included 954 students. The indicators held most "often" included a desire to be thinner, and an awareness of caloric content. The behaviors engaged in "most" often included strenuous exercising, and avoiding particular foods. Both indicators and behaviors varied by gender and body mass index. DISCUSSION: The prevalence of indicators and behaviors is high. Body mass index is a critical variable to consider in the development of interventions. Further research should explore the context surrounding these indicators and behaviors.
