title: Growth parameters and blood values in Arabic children.
abstract: Growth parameters and blood values, including height, weight, hemoglobin, and hematocrit were measured on a sample (n = 251) of Arabic children from the West Bank of Israel. Analyses indicate that socioeconomic factors, along with cultural characteristics, contribute to several differences in gender and income comparisons. Nurses working with Arabic children who may have immigrated to the United States should be sensitive to potential economic and cultural effects.
