This study investigates the relation of malnutrition as indexed by hemoglobin levels and anthropometry and the fertility of Egyptian rural women. 357 married women in 2 villages in Beheira governorate, aged 15-45 were interviewed. 40.9% were in the optimum childbearing age (20-30 years); mean age was 30.5 years. Mean duration of married life was 10.96 years. The frequency distribution curve of hemoglobin of the group was shifted to the left, indicating a high prevalence of anemia. Mean body weight ranged between 62-64 kg, mean height between 158-63 cm, and mean body index between 2.31-2.85. Weight percentiles and degree of anemia shared a bimodal distribution, while the weight for height percentiles and degree of anemia showed a normal distribution with a shift to the left indicating prevalence of underweight for height. The group had an average of 3.6 previous pregnancies; the highest average was 6.7 attained at the age of 40-45 years. Mean pregnancy interval was 2.14 years; number of live births was an average of 3.27; abortion experiences on the average was 0.22; mean stillbirths was 0.07; highest average child losses was for ages 40-45, 0.75; average number of living children 2.8; and mean reproductive activity increased with increase in years of married life. Anemia tends to reduce fertility at all ages with the mean parity higher in the total normal group (3.44) than in the anemic (3.27). Mean family size was also higher in the normal (3.18) than anemic (2.7) groups. In anemic women percentages of live births was 97.7% compared with 94.4% in the normal group, pregnancy wastage was 10.1% compared to 4% in the normal group and total child losses was 11.3% compared to 10.8% in the normal group. The differences are not considered to be statistically significant. The data indicated that interaction between nutritional states, environmental conditions, and fertility performance is the major determinant of human reproduction.

Summarizes recent trends and projections through the year 2000 of population size, population growth, fertility, mortality, and age structure in Africa. Fertility is very high, mortality is fairly high but gradually declining, the age distribution is heavily weighted toward children, and the population growth rate has been increasing--it is at 2.77% and may rise yet more. All of these characteristics vary from region to region. It is estimated that fertility will not decline much if at all in the next 20 years due to a number of sociological factors, and the population may increase from 132 million in 1980 to 246 million or more in 2000. Several graphs and data tables are appended.
