Misrecognized Identities
India stands as a mosaic of diversity, its cultural heritage and intricate social fabric enhancing its complexity. Within this context, a distinct amalgamation of ethnic groups, each distinguished by culture, language, and traditions, finds its abode. However, this tapestry bears threads of fading identity and existential turmoil that intertwine with the De-notified, Nomadic, and Semi-nomadic communities. Hence, this research explores the critica…
Assessment of nutritional status, energy intake and energy requirement
Malnutrition, particularly undernutrition, is a major problem for most low and middle-income countries. For several years, health professionals have recommended improving daily diets and continuous nutritional education as the solution to malnutrition and maximising a healthy life. More specifically, malnutrition is often reversible to a certain extent if the balance between energy intake (EI) and energy requirement (ER) can be measured accuratel…
Dietary Intake and Nutritional Status of the adult Kheria Sabar males of West Bengal, India
Kheria Sabars are an indigenous community living in the rural areas of Purulia, West Bengal, India. This work aims to study dietary intake and its relation to nutritional status among adult Kheria Sabar males aged 18-60. The study entails the recording of anthropometric variables like height (cm) and weight (kg) as per the standard protocol and calculating body mass index (BMI). Dietary intake was recorded on the basis of the 24-h dietary recall …
The association between somatotype and nutritional status
Somatotype is the parameter used to determine the body composition, which is influenced by several factors and nutrition is the crucial one. This study aimed to determine somatotype and nutritional status as well as investigate the somatotype variations in relation to the age and nutritional status among the adult males of Sabar community living in Purulia district of West Bengal, India. The present cross-sectional study included 334 Sabar males …
Age-related Variations in Anthropometry, Body Composition and Nutritional Status among the Adult Kheria Sabar Males of Purulia, West Bengal, India
Undernutrition and ageing may have a significant effect on body composition. A cross sectional study was conducted to explore the age-related variations among different anthropometric and body composition characteristics amongst the adult Kheria Sabar males of Purulia district of West Bengal. From fifteen villages, 304 apparently healthy adult males aged 18–60 years were selected at random. Subjects were categorized into four age groups and stand…
Socio-Demographic Factors Associated with Health Condition among Adult Bhantu Population of Andaman
Malnutrition encompassing both under and over nutrition increases health risks in the adult population. In recent days, the increase in obesity and in turn, the incidence of chronic disease in adult population, now urges weight management interventions in obese adults. Bhantu, a De-notified Community of Andaman, labelled as a Criminal Tribe during British administration for their criminal acts, was settled here after their imprisonment. The prese…
Genetic Diversity and Affinity Among Five Tibeto-Burman Tribal Populations of Northern India
The study attempts to ascertain an analysis of eight Arthrobacter luteus (Alu) insertion loci (ACE, TPA25, PV92, HS4.32, FXIIIB, D1, A25, B65) carried out in five tribal populations (Raji, Buxa, Jaunsari, Tharu and Bhotia) of Uttarakhand, Northern India. Total genomic DNA was extracted and amplification of genomic DNA by PCR analysis was carried out to examine the distribution of Alu (+) and Alu (–) genotypes from eight Alu loci. Genetic distance…
Variation in lip print pattern between two ethnic groups, Oraon tribals and Bengalee Hindus, residing in West Bengal, India
Lip print pattern (LPP) is unique to each individual. For decades, forensic experts have used LPP for personal identification to solve criminal cases. However, studies investigating ethnic variation in LPP are scanty. Our study wanted to investigate variation in LPP between two ethnic groups, Oraon tribals and Bengalee Hindus, residing in West Bengal, India. A total of 280 participants included 112 Oraons and168 Bengalee Hindus of both. Prints we…
Colostrum Avoidance and Breastfeeding Practices Among Mothers of Khos Tribal Community of Uttarakhand
An Epidemiological Investigation on Health Conditions of the Koraga PVTG of Dakshin Kannada district, Karnataka
A Study on Prevalence of Sex Chromatin during Different Reproductive Stage of Bengalee Hindu Caste Females
Human X chromosome has a unique biology that was shaped by its evolution as the sex chromosome shared by males and females. The differential behaviour of the two X chromosome of female cells has biological implications. During the long evolutionary process of humankind, the X chromosome has generated and recruited a disproportionately high number of functional retro-posed genes where as the autosomes experienced tower gene turnover. Recent enquir…
