Design and methods The study was completed with a total of 537 students. A descriptive questionnaire and the Emotional Eating Scale were used. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were used. Finding It was found that emotional eating was positively correlated with body mass index and weight. It was determined that variables such as will, anger, body mass index, and weight were predictors of emotional eating. Practical implications Emotional eating is a coping response with negative emotions. It is suggested that will is the most important factor affecting emotional eating. Thus, psychological dimension of wrong eating habit should definitely be addressed.Objective To investigate Schistosoma haematobium morbidity in infected pre-school age children and establish their disease burden. Methodology Pre-school age children (1-5years) who were lifelong residents of the study area and had no other infections were included in the study. Participants underwent a physical examination with clinicians blinded to their infection status. Diagnosis of S. haematobium was by urine filtration. Results The prevalence of S. haematobium was 35.1%(146/416). The clinical features observed in patients with Schistosoma. haematobium were wheezes (morbidity attributable factor (AF=93.9%), haematuria (AF=92.6%), ascites (AF=91.5%), atopy (AF=76.9%), inguinal lymphadenopathy(AF=68.4%), stunting (AF=38.2) , malnutrition (MUAC)(AF=20%) and weight for height scales (AF=5%). Schistosoma. haematobium infected children were at greater odds ratio of presenting with inguinal lymphadenopathy (AOR)=99.2(95% CI 24.2 to 854.5), wheezes in the chest (AOR=35.4 95% CI 15.3 to 94.2), Distended abdomen with ascites (AOR=23.9 95% CI 11.4 to 54), haematuria (AOR=12.
