Year‐round high physical activity levels in agropastoralists of Bolivian Andes
By the repeated use of the doubly labeled water method (DLW), this study aimed to investigate (1) the extent of changes in energy expenditure and physical activity level (PAL) in response to increased agricultural work demands, and (2) whether the seasonal work demands induce the changes in the fairly equitable division of work and similarity of energy needs between men and women observed in our previous study (Phase 1 study; Kashiwazaki et al., …
Validity of published prediction equations for body composition in high altitude Bolivian Aymara as evaluated by doubly labeled water
Total body water (TBW), fat-free mass (FFM), and fat as a percentage of body weight (fat%) were estimated by the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique in 23 healthy rural Bolivian subjects of a typical herding community of the high Andes. Using these values as the frame of reference, validation tests of several prediction equations for TBW and body density were made. Estimated values and errors for TBW, FFM, and fat% varied greatly with prediction…
Prediction of total body water and fatness from anthropometry
Prediction equations for total body water (TBW) generally use weight and height as predictors, but their ability may be limited because they implicitly assume a constancy of TBW among individuals of similar body size. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative importance of anthropometric dimensions in predicting TBW and body composition. TBW determined by doubly labeled water (DLW) dilution techniques was used as the frame of refer…

An Analysis of Relationships between Menarche and Attained Body Size
The extent of contribution of body weight, height and age to the attainment at menarche was evaluated in a sample of 275 Japanese girls. The means of age, height and weight at menarche were 12.5 SD 0.89 years, 151.1 SD 5.73cm and 42.3 SD 5.75kg, respectively. According to the bivariate correlation analysis between age and height, and age and weight at menarche, height increased (r=0.406, slope=2.603) while weight did not increase significantly wi…
Agricultural practices and household organization in a Japanese pioneer community of lowland Bolivia
Age at Menarche of Japanese and Bolivian Girls in a Pioneer Community of Eastern Lowland of Bolivia
The age at menarche of both Japanese and Bolivians living in a colony of Japanese immigrants in eastern Bolivia was examined. Maximum likelihood estimation gave mean menarcheal ages of 13, 15±1.08 for Japanese girls and of 13.08±0.89 for Bolivian girls. The girls are further classified according to the fathers' occupation (Japanese-Agriculturist I, Agriculturist II, Non-Agriculturist: Bolivian-Self-Employed, Employed, Unknown), and the age at men…
Changing food consumption of Japanese immigrants in the lowland of Bolivia
Dietary records (a three‐day period in July and August, 1975) of 34 households of Japanese immigrants in the lowland of Bolivia were analyzed for the amounts and types of food consumed. The objective of the study was to determine the food habits of immigrants during the various stages of their resettlement and socio‐economic development. The results were as follows: The number of foodstuffs exceeded 100, among which rice was staple through all th…
The human impact of colonization and parasite infestation in subtropical lowlands of Bolivia
Fertility differentials of Japanese agricultural settlers in eastern Boliveia
Fertility variation in Japanese agricultural immigrant women in Bolivia is examined by birth cohort, educational status, religious affiliation, the agricultural system of their households, and prefectural origin in Japan. Only the place of origin in Japan makes a singnificant contribution to variations in fertiligy; higher fertility was found among the women from the Nagasaki prefecture. The results suggest that fertility differentials in this co…
Fertility Pattern of Japanese Agricultural Settlers in Eastern Bolivia
The fertility of Japanese agricultural immigrants settled in eastern Bolivia was studied in comparison with Japanese populations in South Brazil and in Japan. The fertility of the Japanese in Bolivia was found to be high compared with the contemporary Japanese living in Japan, and lay between the levels for South Brazil in 1952 and for Japan in 1970. It is supposed that the Japanese immigrant women in Bolivia maintained the high level of fertilit…
