Two Worlds of Obesity
A Community-Based Participatory Research Approach for Preventing Childhood Obesity
Investigator-initiated CBPR partnerships can effectively organize and facilitate large, health-promoting partnerships involving multiple, diverse stakeholder communities. Lessons learned from CAST illustrate the synergy that can propel projects that are holistically linked to the agents of a community
Food is more than nutrition. Nutritional counseling and the language of prenatal diet in midwifery and obstetric practice
Nutritional Counseling in Midwifery and Obstetric Practice
It is generally acknowledged that pregnant women require healthy diets. However, the cultural idea of "eating for two" and what constitutes an "appropriate" diet during pregnancy have been contested grounds of research as guidelines have changed over the decades. Using a grounded theory approach, we examine how research on pregnancy nutrition is incorporated into practice and translated to patients by obstetricians and 2 categories of midwives--c…
Collaboration, Cooperation, and Working Together
In this chapter, we discuss the nature and growing reliance on collaborative work. We specifically focus on the current literature on collaboration and the use and relevance of collaborative work for anthropologists. We also note differences in perceptions about collaboration, as well as the acceptability of collaborative research and coauthorship across disciplines. We use instances from our careers as a way to illustrate examples of collaborati…
Focus Groups With Deaf and Hearing Youths in Brazil
The authors' aim is to describe the analysis of focus group discussions with deaf and hearing adolescents. They conducted focus groups to improve a questionnaire that will be computerized to assess the knowledge about HIV/AIDS and sexual behavior and attitudes of deaf and hearing youths in the south of Brazil. They developed four groups each with three participants aged 18 to 20 years, grouped by gender and hearing status. The analysis emphasizes…
At the Factory, at the Table
The present article explores some of the ways Thai industrial workers view their diet and eating patterns in the context of their lives as industrial workers. Our purpose in the study was to understand the interaction between dietary practices, economic circumstances, and social conditions. We use a biocultural approach and draw on survey questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and narratives about health practices. Content analysis revealed informa…
Speaking of Hunger and Coping with Food Insecurity
Using examples from an Afro-Ecuadorian community, we analyze indicators of household food insecurity and discuss them in terms of household structure and different time frames. We found that perceptions of hunger vary independently over time and are expressed differently in different types of households. We also found that definitions, although variable within the population, can be framed in five conceptual categories: a) an experience filled wi…
In times of plenty and times of scarcity
In subsistence‐based societies, daily activities are directed by food procurement, but food is not usually regarded as a given; food shortages can be a threat or a reality. Seasonal variations are the most common type of shortage; however, other factors may also affect food availability. Using focus‐group discussions in conjunction with semi‐structured interviews and participant observations, how villagers in northeastern Thailand cope with seaso…

The Marketing of Gathered Food As an Economic Strategy of Women in Northeastern Thailand
Gathered food is traditionally important in the diet of many societies. As socio-cultural patterns change, however, these items may be used for other purposes, thus triggering further change. This paper examines the impact of an emerging economic strategy: marketing gathered food in northeastern Thailand. The women in our sample who marketed gathered food reported earning more money than the non-vendors. Their contribution to family income was mo…
The distribution of haemoglobin concentration in a sample of native high-altitude women
Two hundred and twenty-two indigenous women living in La Paz, Bolivia at an altitude of 3700 m were screened for the haematological parameters of haemoglobin, transferrin saturation, haematocrit and total iron-binding capacity. The data from 152 nonpregnant healthy women under 45 years of age were utilized in both distributional and maximum likelihood analyses in order to evaluate the prevalence of abnormal haemoglobin levels. The prevalence of a…
Dietary status and dietary diversity of native highland Bolivian children
Dietary information from 117 Bolivian boys was collected using the 24‐hour recall method. Nutritional adequacy, dietary diversity and dietary quality and their relation to resource‐demographic variables were assessed. The children's diets were adequate for all nutrients except calories, calcium, niacin and thiamin according to FAO standards. The dietary quality index, however, indicated the diets diverged considerably from that normally considere…
Maximal aerobic power in trained youths at high altitude
The sample for this study consisted of 25 males and 19 females between the ages of 8.8 and 19.5 years. The subjects were healthy, well nourished and trained swimmers residing in La Paz, Bolivia (mean altitude 3700 m). The purpose of this study was to provide normative values for the work capacity of high-altitude youths. Mean VO2 max was 46.9 ml/kg/min in males and 39.3 ml/kg/min in females. VO2max increased significantly with age in males but no…
Altitude and infant growth in Bolivia
The growth of 79 healthy, well‐nourished lowland (400 M) and highland (3600 M) Bolivian infants was analyzed in a longitudinal study through the first postnatal year. Compared to low altitude infants, the high altitude infants were found, by analysis of covariance controlling for size at the previous exam, to be significantly shorter at birth, 1 and 6 months, while they were significantly lighter only at birth and 1 year. Recumbent length gain wa…
