title: [Nutritional status of workers in Jordan].
abstract: The nutritional status of 306 Jordanian workers was studied according to their eating habits, nutrient intake, and anthropometric measurements. Their use of cafeteria service at the factory was not regular. This led to a shifting in their nutrient intake time from work-hours to the evening-hours. The anthropometric indicators showed no prevalence of severe malnutrition or overnutrition. Only 5% of the persons examined were overweight, and 4% were underweight.
