  • A comparison of physical activity levels in two contrasting elderly populations in Thailand

    C J K Henry, J Webster‐Gandy et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2001

    There is little information available on physical activity patterns in the elderly in developing countries. This is particularly important at a time when developing countries are in transition and show signs of moving toward Western style patterns of physical activity and social structure. This study is unique in that it compares the physical activity levels in two contrasting communities: a residential home and a rural community of elderly subje…

  • Intraindividual variation in the basal metabolic rate of women

    Open AccessVickie Curtis, Christiani Jeyakumar Henry et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1996

    The validity of using the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to calculate an individual's energy requirements is based upon the assumption that the intraindividual variation in BMR is small. Early studies (pre-1940) on BMR in women had shown that the menstrual cycle may have a profound effect, contributing to high levels of intraindividual variation. To investigate this issue further, and to explore whether BMR is indeed a biological constant in women, s…

  • Estimates of metabolic adaptation in women living in developing countries

    Open AccessChristiani Jeyakumar Henry, C J K HenryARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1992

    The measurement of food intake has long been used to describe ‘adaptation’ to low energy intakes in certain tropical peoples. However, the methods available to quantify food intake are unlikely to reflect accurately real energy intakes in free living peoples. Alternatively, estimating energy expenditure shows some promise—particularly the measurement of basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR may be measured effectively in males, but females show wid…

  • The Micronutrient Fortification of Refugee Rations to Prevent Nutritional Deficiencies in Refugee Diets

    Christiani Jeyakumar Henry, C J K Henry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Refugee Studies1992

    Refugee rations, particularly those in Africa, are essentially made up of cereals, legumes, oil and a small quantity of sugar. On such a diet, numerous deficiency diseases including scurvy, pellagra and beri-beri have been reported. This paper argues that one possible strategy to alleviate these problems is food fortification. Food fortification may be defined as ‘a process whereby one or more nutrients are added to foods to maintain or improve t…

  • The winged bean. Will the wonder crop be another flop

    Christiani Jeyakumar Henry, C J K Henry et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1985

    The Winged Bean (Psophocarpus tetrogonolobus) is being widely promoted by development workers as an important new food crop. An examination of some of its simpler nutritional aspects shows it to have also many disadvantages which may outweigh its benefits. It is argued particularly that the problem of the need for prolonged cooking of the winged bean, due to its fibrous husk, will place so great a demand on fuel and time that it will adversely af…
