A Mixed-Methods Approach to Understanding Loneliness and Depression in Older Adults
An improved understanding of how older adults view loneliness in relation to depression, derived from multiple methods, may inform clinical practice
Issues in the measurement of energy intake for free-living human populations
Energy intake is the most difficult component of energy balance to measure. All known methods are subject to considerable error, both random error and bias. High variability within and between subjects means that sampling is important to increase reliability. Further, the fact that true intakes are unknown means that some outside measure of validity is desirable as a check on the accuracy of recording of habitual intake. This report examines food…

Livestock, nutrition, and intrahousehold resource control in Uasin Gishu district, Kenya
A framework for the analysis of gender, intra-household dynamics, and livestock disease control with examples from Uasin Gishu district, Kenya
Diet, nutrition, and agricultural development in Swaziland. 3. Household economics and demography
Studies linking agricultural development with food consumption and nutrition have concentrated on cash cropping and on the effects of changes in income. This paper uses models drawn from Farming Systems and the new household economics to examine economic and demographic factors affecting diet and food consumption for progressive farmers in Swaziland. Production factors are more closely linked to food consumption than to nutritional status of eith…

Diet, nutrition, and agricultural development in Swaziland. 2. Patterns of food consumption
Because food is a link between household economics and health, food consumption is increasingly accepted as a measure of well‐being for rural households. This paper outlines food consumption patterns for a sample of rural Swazi households cooperating with the Swaziland Cropping Systems Project. Results are based on 24‐hour recall interviews with 110 women in cooperator households (1386 food‐consumption days). Dietary patterns show a high reliance…

Do reproductive patterns affect maternal nutritional status: An analysis of maternal depletion in Lesotho
Poor pregnancy outcomes in developing countries have often been blamed on maternal depletion or on the cumulative nutritional drain of many closely spaced pregnancies. Despite its widespread acceptance, the maternal depletion hypothesis remains unproven. This study examines nutritional status and fertility history for 873 women in highland Lesotho. Parity, age, pregnancy status, length of last closed birth interval, open interval, and median birt…
Diet, nutrition and agricultural development in Swaziland. 1. Agricultural ecology and nutritional status
Despite the importance of diet and nutrition as indicators of household well‐being, few agricultural development projects have incorporated such concerns into their research or project objectives. This paper presents results of a nutrition and food consumption survey carried out by the Swaziland Cropping Systems Project as part of its research to assess conditions and constraints faced by small farmers. Anthropometric measurements show stunting t…

Fat and fertility: Demographic implications of differential fat storage
Anthropologists interested in human nutrition have become intrigued by the possibility of a link between nutritional status, fat stores, and fertility. Frisch (1978) and Frisch and McArthur (1974) have hypothesized such a link, based on studies of body composition at menarche and menstrual dysfunction in anorectics. This review indicates that both over‐ and undernutrition may interfere with reproductive function, but probably do so only when extr…
