Nutritional status and morbidity on an irrigation project in Turkana District, Kenya
The research reported on here was undertaken to identify the most important contributors to continuing high mortality on a small‐scale irrigation project at Nakwamoru in Turkana District, Kenya. The health status of project settlers had not been assessed prior to the present study, which was undertaken in 1978–79, a decade after the project was started. The purpose of the study was to estimate the nutritional status of project children and the ma…
Changing health beliefs and behaviors of resettled Laotian refugees: Ethnic variation in adaptation
Differential mortality in Turkana agriculturalists and pastoralists
Nomadic pastoral populations appear to have much lower rates of growth than the otherwise very high growth rates now characteristic of populations in developing nations. Because dramatic declines in infant mortality have been a primary contributor to increased population growth rates in these countries, it has been assumed that nomadic pastoral populations are still characterized by high levels of mortality in the first few years of life. Few stu…
