  • Biological variability in a migrating isolate, the Tokelau Islands

    Open AccessMaria E Ramirez, Gerhard W Brauer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1991

    The magnitude and rates of growth have been compared among two cross-sectional samples of Tokelau children on the basis of 26 anthropometric dimensions. One of the samples consisted of children living on the Tokelau Islands. The migrant sample consisted of children of Tokelau descent who were living in New Zealand. The comparison between samples suggest significant differences in the rate of linear growth at the younger ages. However, most differ…

  • Social change, migration and pregnancy intervals

    Open AccessIan Pool, J E Sceats et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1987

    Maternity histories from residents of a Pacific Island society, Tokelau, and migrants to New Zealand, are analysed using life table techniques. Inter-cohort differentials in patterns of family formation were found in the total Tokelau-origin population. The process of accelerated timing and spacing of pregnancies was more pronounced among migrants who tended to marry later, be pregnant at marriage, have shorter inter-pregnancy intervals at lower …

  • Inter-population comparisons of catecholamine excretion

    Open AccessD A JENNER, G Ainsworth Harrison et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1987

    Twenty-four hour urines were obtained from groups of male and female volunteers recruited from urban populations in developed and developing countries (UK, USA, Japan and Nigeria) an from agriculture-based Polynesian population (Tokelau Islands). The urines were collected on typical working days, with minimal disturbance to subjects' normal routines. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine catecholamine concentrations in each…

  • Dietary surveys from the Tokelau Island migrant study

    Winsome R Harding, C Russell et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1986

    The dietary studies carried out as part of the Tokelau Island Migrant Study are reviewed. The traditional diet in Tokelau, based on coconut, fish and breadfruit staples, is high in saturated fat and lower in cholesterol and carbohydrate relative to the diet commonly consumed by the Tokelau migrants to New Zealand, where a varied food choice from dairy products, meat, cereals, fruit and vegetables is available. The dietary change necessitated by m…

  • The Tokelau island study

    Open AccessJohn M Stanhope, Ian A Prior et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1981

    Atoll-dwelling people of Tokelau in the central Pacific have been studied in their home environment and after migration to the industrial culture of New Zealand (NZ). The NZ migrants reflect the predominantly male and young composition of the migrating group. Recent migration has eased the lot of the surplus young women from Tokelau, resulting in earlier marriage and less long-term spinsterhood. The apparently higher fertility of women residing i…

  • Part III

    Ryk Ward, Ian A Prior et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology1980Cited by: 3References: 16

    The Tokelau Migrant Study is a collaborative multidisciplinary study which focuses on the changes in cardiovascular function as a consequence of migration. Two aspects of the study combine to make it unique in genetic epidemiology. One is that the study population comprises a set of related individuals distributed across contrasting environments, Tokelau and New Zealand. The second is that the study was initiated soon enough to survey the premigr…

  • The Tokelau Island Migrant Study

    Open AccessJohn M Stanhope, Ian A Prior et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1977

    The Tokelau Island Migrant Study is outlined. It is a multi-disciplinary study of health and social change in the Tokelau islanders, following up emigrants to New Zealand (NZ). In this paper fertility and related aspects are examined, comparing pre-migrants (persons subsequently known to have emigrated to NZ) with non-migrants. Pre-migrant females tended to be younger, to marry later, to be less often childless and to have suffered more miscarria…
