J. J. GROEN M.D.1, MIRIAM BALOGH PH.D.1, MINA LEVY 1, E. YARON PH.D.1, RUTH ZEMACH 1, and SARA BENADERET B.A.1

1 From the Department of Medicine A, Hadassah Hebrew University Hospital and the Laboratory for Clinical Research of the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel

Described herein are the food habits of the Bedouins in relation to the ways of life in the Negev Desert. The methodologic difficulties encountered when the method of family interview is applied to such people are presented as well as the results which, even when evaluated with due caution, permit some insight into food intake. Figures for height and weight, blood cholesterol and incidence of myocardial infarction are presented for comparison with other groups and with results of future studies.
