Abstract
Undoubtedly, the health status of man has an important influence on his work. In many parts of the world today, it has been proved that inadequate food consumption is responsible for the reduction of the working capacity. This is also affected by many factors. If wages and salaries of workers are low and not sufficient to allow purchasing adequate amounts of food, or if for any other reason the workers have difficulty in obtaining enough food, the setting up of non-profit food stores may give workers and their families the possibility of obtaining food at low prices. Anyhow nutrition, health and working capacity are intercorrelated. This work was designed to study the nutritional status for clothing and spinning workers in Diamond and Shebin factories respectively. The research sample included 125 workers, and workers were subjected to the following studies 1) Socioeconomic studies including the age, income, marital status and education of their wives.
2) Dietary studies, including information about dietary intake and food patterns. Using Food Composition Tables, of the Nutrition Institute (1985) nutrient elements contained in the food were estimated. An updated food composition tables of faculty of Home Economics, Menoufia University, compiled from laboratory analysis by Nutrition Institute as well as Middle East food composition tables (Pellet & Shadareevion, 1971) were used for analyzing the nutrients contents in different food items consumed. They are: energy, animal protein, plant protein, total protein, animal fat, plant fat, total fat, carbohydrate, calcium, animal iron, plant iron, total iron, vitamms A, B1, B2, B5 and vitamin C. Consumed amounts of energy, proteins, calcium, iron.
