The impact of crisis and COVID-19 on Syrian children growth, health awareness and nutritional practices. a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the great steadfastness that Syria has achieved in the face of more than a decade of stifling crisis followed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the heavy impacts of these long rough years are certain and crucial on the health and nutrition levels, specially on vulnerable groups like women and children. Moreover, the lack of research and data on health and nutritional status of children within Syria makes it very difficult to draw conclusions and act effectively. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate growth development and give an insight about the public health awareness and nutritional practices among Syrian primary schools children.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among private and public primary schools' students aged 6 to 9 year
