| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Prevalence of Malnutrition Among School-Aged Children With and Without Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study. Data from Saudi Arabia on school-aged children with IDD remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among school-aged children with and without IDD in Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study was conducted during August-December of 2024 at the Child Development Center at University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A total of 168 children participated (IDD, n = 68; non-IDD, n = 100). In conclusion, nearly half of this hospital-based sample of Saudi school-aged children had evidence of malnutrition, with overnutrition exceeding undernutrition.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
