B Thalassemia patients developed short stature and low weight in spite no evident endocrine abnormalities. One hypothesis is that they developed some degree of malnutrition,then the purpose of this study is to assess the nutritional status before nutritional intervention and after one year. Siblings of the patients will serve as a control group.
BMI, lipid and endocrine profile and leptin levels will be analysed in the study group only.
The nutritionist will advice the patients about calories requirement and intake, balance diet and follow up the patients during the study period of one year. No special medicaments or drug therapy will be provided as part of the study protocol
