Changes in social structure and behaviour
‘Modernization’ has brought a multitude of changes in social structures and behaviour patterns to the indigenous circumpolar populations – a process that some authors have termed ‘acculturation’ (Berry, 1976; Forsius, 1980; Sampath, 1976). This chapter looks at objective measures of acculturation and the resulting acculturative stress or alienation, examining the extent and the social effects of cultural change in groups that, until recently, hav…
The Health Consequences of 'Modernization
The health consequences of ‘modernization’
What are the health consequences of a transition from an active 'hunter-gatherer' lifestyle to that of sedentary modern living? In this book, the impact of 'modernization' is assessed in various populations in the circumpolar regions. The hazards of living in polar regions, and the adaptations shown culturally, behaviourally and physically by the indigenous peoples are examined and the effect of changes in habitual activity, diet, and general lif…
A comparison of physical fitness between Igloolik inuit and Volochanka nGanasan
Physical characteristics, muscle strength, and predicted aerobic power were compared in two circumpolar populations aged 20–49 years at different stages in acculturation to a “modern” sedentary life‐style: the Inuit of Igloolik (110 males, 80 females tested in 1989–90) and the nGanasan of Volochanka (29 males, 25 females tested in 1992–3). Both populations show short stature but normal body mass. Skinfold thicknesses (average of triceps, subscapu…
Basal metabolic rate of inuit
Basal metabolic rates (BMR) at the end of the winter of 1981–1982 were determined in both Inuit and subjects of European ancestry resident in Igloolik, N.W.T. (69°40'N, 81°W). Values for the Inuit sample (22 females, 14–53 years, and 30 males, 14–70 years) exceeded published body surface area norms by some 16–18%; they also exceeded the body mass norms of Schofield (1985) by 9–10%. In contrast, readings on the six subjects of European ancestry, o…
Prediction of body fat content in an inuit community
The age‐ and sex‐specific generic predictions of body density, and thus body fat content, as obtained by the skinfold equations of Durnin and Womersley (1974, Br J Nutr 32:77–97) have been compared with direct hydrostatic estimates of body density in a sample of 51 moderately acculturated Canadian Inuit men, ages 18–36 years. In general, the Durnin and Womersley equations indicate somewhat too high a body density and thus too low a percentage of …
Growth and fitness of Canadian inuit
The growth and development of Inuit children and adolescents living in the high arctic (Igloolik, NWT, 69°40′ N, 81°W) has been surveyed crosssectionally and semilongitudinally on three occasions during a period of rapid acculturation: 1969–1970, 1979–1980, 1989–1990. Recruitment declined from 85% (1969–1970) to 63% (1989–1990) of eligible subjects, in the most recent survey a total of 91 males and 65 females. Secular trends in the community have…
