Permanent versus temporary rural migrants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia--a logit analysis of their intentions of future mobility.
"The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting intentions of rural-migrants to return to their rural origins. Several socioeconomic, demographic, spatial, and temporal variables will be introduced to explore their explanatory power and interrelationship with the migrants' intentions. These variables are: Years lived in Riyadh, the current place of parents' residency, land ownership in the village, home ownership in the urban area, income, household size, and the area of origin. The data, which come from a sample survey of migrants conducted in Riyadh in 1983, will be analyzed by the means of binary logit model."

A longitudinal study of prolonged breastfeeding in relation to child undernutrition.
BACKGROUND: In a number of studies prolonged breastfeeding was associated with a higher risk of undernutrition, although most of these studies are limited by their cross-sectional design which does not allow examination of temporal relationships between full weaning and undernutrition. METHODS: The relationship between prolonged breastfeeding and child growth was examined prospectively among children under 36 months old who participated in a large cohort study. At baseline and at each of three 6-monthly follow-up visits breastfeeding status was assessed and all subjects were weighed and measured. RESULTS: Undernourished children were more likely to be breastfed for a longer period of time compared with normal children. We found a small difference between breastfed and fully weaned children in the gain in height over the following 6-month period; however, breastfed children were likely to gain significantly less weight, particularly among children who were aged 6-12 months. Similar findings were noted when these associations were examined among children who were normally nourished at the time of breastfeeding assessment. The inverse association between breastfeeding status and weight gain was significantly larger among children of poor or illiterate mothers compared with children of relatively more affluent or literate mothers, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the inverse association is not causal, and may be explained by poorer complementary feeding among breastfed compared with weaned children. Children from poorer households and whose parents are illiterate are more likely to have less than adequate complementary feeding. The importance of adequate complementary feeding in the second half of infancy needs to be stressed in nutrition education programmes.
