Rural-Urban Differences in Hypertension among the Hmars of Manipur in Northeast India
This paper aims to identify the risk factors for the rural-urban differences in hypertension. A crosssectional sample of 1,207 adult Hmars (18-70 years) was collected from rural and urban areas of Manipur, India. The results showed that there were significant differences in blood pressure and hypertension within and between the two settings. Urban participants had higher rates of hypertension than their rural counterparts at a given age or physic…
Effects of heterosis on growth in height and its segments
Subject to further studies, the role of heterosis and/or gene flow in influencing growth and development of children cannot be completely ruled out, especially after 5 years of age when the variation in growth patterns is likely to be associated not only with environmental quality but also with genetic mechanisms
Growth and nutritional status of Khasi boys in Northeast India relating to exogamous marriages and socioeconomic classes
The Khasis are one of the matrilineal tribes of Meghalaya in Northeast India. They belong to the Indo‐Mongoloid racial stock, and speak the Monkhmer language of the Austro‐Asiatic group. They have their own traditional religion ( Niam Khasi ), but about 65% of them have converted to Christianity. A few Khasi members have also embraced Islam through matrimonial relationship with immigrant Muslim males. The present study was based on a cross‐sectio…
Body mass index of adult males in 12 populations of Northeast India
A majority of the adult males in these populations were lean. The high proportion of individuals with grade I CED suggests the need of other information on morbidity and health status of these populations
A Genetic Study of the Khynriam of Meghalaya, North-East India
The present note is based on limited genetic markers and mating patterns among the Khynriam, one of the Khasi sub-groups of Meghalaya, North-East India. It indicates that the Khasi population is not a homogeneous on and it is likely that this population is divided several endogamous units
A Genetical Study Among the Dibongiya Deuri of Lakhimpur District of Assam
A genitival study of the Dibongiya Deuri was earned out with a view to understanding the genetic differentiation within and between the Deuri groups of Assam. It is found the various segments of the Deuri are by and large homogeneous in respect of the AUO and Rh (D) blood groups as well as color blindness. In comparison with other populations, the Dibongiya Deuru are closer to the Koch rather than to the Tengapaniya and Chute of the same ethnic g…
A Study of Food and Nutrient Intakes Among the Dimasa of North Cachar Hills
This paper at tempi u describe the food and nutrient intakes among the Dimisa of North Cachar Hills in Assam. The findings indicate that the over-all dietary intake among the Dimasa is more of less according to the Recommended Allowances gives by the Indian Council of Medical Research, though the consumption of nutrients like iron, carotene and vitamin B, is far below the recommended requirement The problems concerning the practical method for me…
Haemoglobin Concentration in Relation to Sex, Religion and Economic Condition Among the War Khasi
The present paper aims at finding out a possible relationship between haemoglobin content and socio-economic condition among the War Khasi in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. Ii 1S found that the Christian War Khasi have higher haemoglobin level than their non-Christian counterparts, despite the absence of statistical significance in the case of males. The difference among the income groups is found to be statistically significant in t…
Growth Pattern of The War Khasi Children of Meghalaya
The present study deals with the growth pattern of the War Khasi children in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. The study was based on a cross-sectional sample of 514 apparently healthy boys and girls, who are aged 3 to 15 years. The findings reveal that there is a continuous increment in almost all the measure meats with the advancing age of both boys and girls. It is observed that, with the exception of skinfold thicknesses, the mean v…
Growth and Nutritional Status of War Khasi Children
The present paper attempts to show the growth and nutritional status of the War Khasi children of Meghalaya with regard to height for age and weight for height. An interval method of determining the cut-off point and trigger level was proposed for the assessment of growth and nutritional status of children. It may be suggested that growth retardation is not only the manifestation of undernutrition and infection, but also that complex intreration …
Prenatal and Postnatal Mortality in The War Khasi of Meghalaya
The present paper attempts to provide certain pieces of information on prenatal and postnatal morality among the War Khasi of Meghalaya, India. It is found that the infant and juvenile mortality rates are quite moderate in comparison with other populations, particularly with population in the north-eastern region of the country This holds good for both the Christians and non-Christian of the population. The frequencies of reproductive wastages in…
Opportunity for Natural Selection Among The War Khasi of Meghalaya, India
The War Khasi, one of the two-groups of the Khasi matrilineal tribe, are found in the southern slope of the Khasi and Jaintia hills of Meghalaya. The index of total opportunity for natural selection has been reported for the Christians and non-Christian sections of this tribal population. It is found that the total selection intensity, according to Crow’s formula, is 0.360 in the Christians and 0.446 in the non-Christians, and according to the mo…
