  • Is there a difference in student physical activity between a field school and a traditional classroom setting

    Open AccessMichaela Howells, Katherine L''Amour Woolard Mayfour et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2022

    OBJECTIVES: We compared the physical activity of nine students participating in an anthropological field school to their activity expenditures in traditional classrooms. We predicted that the students would exhibit higher physical activity during the field school due to the substantial physical requirements associated with the program compared to traditional classroom environments which are frequently more sedentary. METHODS: Participants (n = 9)…

  • Shift in body fat distribution from lower body to upper body among urban Colombian women, 1988–1989 to 2007–2008

    Open AccessRichard L Bender, Traci A Bekelman et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: Body fat distribution may be a stronger predictor of metabolic risk than BMI. Yet, few studies have investigated secular changes in body fat distribution in middle-income countries or how those changes vary by socioeconomic status (SES). This study evaluated changes in body fat distribution by SES in Colombia, a middle-income country where BMI is increasing rapidly. Design: We applied factor analysis to previously published data to ass…

  • No change in energy efficiency in lactation

    Open AccessRichard L Bender, Heather S Williams et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2017

    We found no support for the idea that lactating women undergo an increase in energy efficiency to support the energy costs of lactation

  • Stable isotopes (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur), diet, and anthropometry in urban Colombian women

    Open AccessRichard L Bender, Darna L Dufour et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2015

    OBJECTIVES: We conducted stable isotope and dietary analyses of women from higher and lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups in Cali, Colombia. The objectives were to test between-group differences in stable isotope, dietary, and anthropometric characteristics, and to evaluate relationships between diet and stable isotope values. METHODS: Hair samples from 38 women (mean age 33.4) from higher and lower SES groups were analyzed for δ(13) C, δ(15)…

  • Local trends in diet in urban C olombia, 1990–1995 to 2008

    Open AccessDarna L Dufour, Richard L Bender et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2015

    OBJECTIVES: To quantify changes in the diets of low-income women in Cali, Colombia between 1990-1995 and 2008, a period of increases in body size, and to situate these changes within national-level trends in food availability, as well as to compare these changes with those expected in countries undergoing a nutrition transition. METHODS: Individual dietary intake was assessed via 24-hour recalls in both 1990-1995 (n = 85) and 2008 (n = 88). Dieta…

  • Socioeconomic status, stature, and obesity in women

    Open AccessKathryn M Olszowy, Darna L Dufour et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2012

    OBJECTIVES: Ongoing social and economic changes in developing countries are associated with increases in body size, and most notably increases in the prevalence of obesity. The social patterning of these changes in terms of socioeconomic status (SES) is not well documented. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in stature, body mass index (BMI) and fatness in adult women in urban Cali, Colombia between 1988-1989 and 2007-2008. METHODS: …
