|
|
|
The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that hospitalization rates due to respiratory and cardiovascular problems among the Bedouin population over the years 2000-2004 are associated with residency near the industrial park, and to compare the trends over time (1995-1999). This ecological study included the entire Bedouin population, stratified by gender, age groups and locality type.
