Factors influencing the dietary intake of indigenous leafy greens by the K'ekchi people of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
Factors affecting dietary use of indigenous leafy greens by the K'ekchi people of San Pedro Carcha, Guatemala, were studied over a 13‐month period in 3 communities: 1 rural; 1 semi‐rural; and 1 urban. Seventeen species of indigenous greens were recorded in the diet using a 7‐day food frequency questionnaire. There was a significant interaction (p < 0.01) between the frequency of intake of total greens and the frequency of intake of other foods. T…
Factors influencing self-diagnosis and treatment of perceived helminthic infection in a rural Guatemalan community
Rural‐urban variation in the calcium, iron, zinc and copper content of tortillas and intake of these minerals from tortillas by women in Guatemala
Tortillas are central to the traditional Guatemalan diet. This study measured the contents of calcium, iron, zinc and copper in tortillas and assessed the daily intake of these minerals which Kekchi women derived from tortilla intake. Tortillas from 50 households in three rural, two semi‐urban and one very low‐income urban community were found to contain a mean of 108 mg calcium, 1.5 mg iron, 1.8 mg zinc, and 0.2 mg copper per 100 g of edible por…
Rural‐urban variation in limed maize use and tortilla consumption by women in Guatemala
The tortilla, a flat‐cake made of alkali‐treated maize, is an important traditional staple of the Guatemalan diet and a particularly important source of dietary calcium. This cross‐sectional study examined rural‐urban variation in tortilla size and limed maize use in 60 households of Kekchi indigenous people from three rural, two semi‐urban and one very low‐income urban community of Guatemala. The mean weight ± SEM of tortillas from rural areas (…
