Association study of PCSK9 SNPs (rs505151 & rs562556) and their haplotypes with CVDs in Indian population
This study concludes that G allele of rs505151 SNP ( PCSK9) and the H3 (G-A) haplotype of rs505151 & rs562556 were found to be risk factors for CVDs in the Indian population

Income and Nutritional Status of the Fishing Community Residing in Coastal Bay of Bengal
This is part of a project on the disadvantaged, marginalized, vulnerable/weaker section of the population and their survival strategy. The paper presents the results of a survey carried out during 2006-07 with the objective of throwing light on the life and living conditions of an economically weaker community such as 'fishing community' residing in the coastal area of Bay of Bengal in West Bengal and Orissa, India, in the context of global scena…
Chronic Energy Deficiency Among Indian Women by Residential Status
In India, there is a considerable disparity between rural and urban areas with respect to health facilities, education, and infrastructural facilities. The major objectives of the present study are to examine the magnitudes of rural–urban disparity, its variation across states, and reasons for such disparity. A total of 81,712 ever-married women of reproductive age from 26 states in India constitute the data set. BMI is considered to be a good me…
Growth among Tibetans at high and low altitudes in India
In India, Tibetans have been living at different altitudes for more than 40 years. This study describes physical growth in terms of height, weight, sitting height, skinfold thickness at triceps and upper arm circumference of Tibetans born and raised at three Tibetan refugee settlements (3,521; 970; and 800 m) from the view point of the hypothesis that growth is retarded at high altitude. Samples consist of individuals between the ages of 2 and 40…
Blood pressure variation among Tibetans at different altitudes
Lower BP values among Tibetan children and adolescents at high altitude suggest that altitude affects BP as previously hypothesized, but only in youth. Similar BP in adults at low and high altitudes may reflect the effects of other variables on BP. Measures of adiposity (SFT, BMI and MUAC) have a significant effect on BP. Increase in BP with adult age is observed in Tibetans, which is similar to the pattern observed among populations undergoing m…
Birth weight among Tibetans at different altitudes in India
We report the variation in birth weight among the Tibetans at different altitudes in India to test the hypothesis of greater protection from intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) among Tibetan compared with other high-altitude native populations. We found that the birth weight of Tibetans at Leh (3521 m, high altitude) is quite similar to what has been reported previously for Tibetans at similar altitudes and is significantly higher than the low…
A Note on Selection Intensity Among the Muslims of a Calcutta Slum
In this study the value of the index of opportunity for selection with its mortality and fertility components are repotted; and have been compared with the published data on their rural counterparts. The data have been collected front Muslims of a Calcutta slum. The result shows that the Muslims of Calcutta have lower fertility and mortality but higher selection pressure (I).Key Words: Selection IntensityMuslimCalcutta Slum
Altitude and growth among the sherpas of the eastern Himalayas
The results of the anthropometric survey of Sherpa children of both sexes (n = 478) from high‐ and low‐altitude areas in the eastern Himalayas are presented. The study reveals that growth is slower both more prolonged in the high‐altitude Sherpas compared with growth at low altitude and that Sherpa children are the smallest of all the high‐altitude populations considered here. Sexual dimorphism is not well defined during the earlier age periods. …

Genetic studies among the sedentes and migrant oraons of eastern India
A total of 334 Oraons of both sexes from two localities in eastern India were tested for 11 polymorphic and six monomorphic blood genetic markers. The sample comprised 130 sedentes from the Gumla district in Bihar and 204 migrants to the Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal. At the hemoglobin locus one example of HbAS was observed in the Gumla sample, while two cases of HbAS were found in the Jalpaiguri group. The Oraons are a distinct tribe and a…

Effects of altitude, ethnicity‐religion, geographical distance, and occupation on adult anthropometric characters of eastern Himalayan populations
With a view to estimating the effect of altitude on body dimensions vis‐à‐vis ethnicity‐religion, geographical distance, and occupation, a comprehensive multivariate statistical analysis was performed on data pertaining to 16 anthropometric characters collected from 1,103 individuals (643 males and 460 females) belonging to two ethnic groups—Sherpa and Lepcha. Samples were drawn from several locations in the eastern Himalayan region—Darjeeling an…

Variations in body dimensions in relation to altitude among the Sherpas of the eastern Himalayas
A biomedical study was undertaken on the Sherpas of Upper Khumbu (3500-4500m), Nepal, and their migrant counterparts in the lower altitudes (1000-1500m) of Kalimpong subdivision, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, to study the impact of altitude on human biological characteristics in this Himalayan population, following the basic design of the IBP/Human Adaptability Panel. The results of the anthropometric survey of the adults (234 males and 169 f…
Aggression and Hypoglycemia in the Andes
In a Stirling-award winning article, Ralph Bolton offered a psychophysiological explanation for the notorious levels of aggression among the "Qolla" (Quechua and Aymara) Indians of the Peruvian altiplano. The long-standing anthropological characterization of these peasants as pathologically aggressive was supported by Bolton's finding that the community of Incawatana had one of the highest murder rates on record. He hypothesized that mild hypogly…
A Demographic Study of Mirpur
Mirpur is a small village of 320 individuals in coastal Midnapore district, West Bengal, the inhabitants of which claim partial Portuguese ancestry. The demographic data collected in Mirpur are reported here. The age structure of the population suggests a growing population trend, but a constriction at the base of the pyramid indicates a recent decline of fertility. The completed family size, net reproductive index and total fertility rate are al…

Altitude and demography among the Sherpas
The Sherpas of Upper Khumbu (above 10,000 feet), Nepal, and their migrant counterparts at lower altitudes (3000–7000 feet) in Darjeeling District, West Bengal, show no statistically significant difference in age–sex structure or mortality, while there are suggestions of some fertility reduction at the higher altitudes.
