Abstract
The prevalence of skin disorders and their relation to age and nationality in Amman, Jordan were determined. Eight schools were selected using a simple random technique and a total of 2788 male schoolchildren were examined. The overall prevalence of skin disorders was 19.23%, with leukonychia [‎36.66%]‎, naevi [‎12.88%]‎ and head lice [‎11.01%]‎ being the most common. Head lice were found more frequently among the Jordanian [‎11.6%]‎ than non-Jordanian [‎8.3%]‎ schoolchildren. School health departments must be encouraged to control associated health problems
