New method for age estimation of developmental defects of enamel formation in living populations
Histologically based age of occurrence estimates for developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are raising questions about the continued utility of traditional macroscopic methods; however, the new techniques are not appropriate for use on living populations. This study, using methodology suitable for noninvasive use on living populations, compares assignment of defect timing using a histologically informed macroscopic method (HIMM) versus traditiona…
Migration Following Resettlement of the Gwembe Tonga of Zambia
In 1958, 57,000 Gwembe Tonga people were forcibly relocated by a large-scale hydroelectric development project. The land on which they were resettled was insufficient to sustain their livelihoods, and many later chose to migrate to a frontier zone north and west of the Gwembe Valley to secure additional land for farming. Guided by human adaptability theory, we use child growth as a measure of success of the migration strategy, and find that in 20…
Gender and nutritional status at the household level among Gwembe Valley Tonga children, 0-10 years
Gender bias usually favors males, yet among the matrilineal Gwembe Tonga of Zambia, females appear to receive preferential treatment. It is hypothesized that children in polygynous households will have increased levels of malnutrition due to the dilution of resources. Further, if gender bias is observed, it will favor females. The presence of preferential treatment during preadolescence is assessed by measuring physical status in the household. M…
Catch‐up reproductive maturation in rural Tonga girls, Zambia
To compare the timing of reproductive maturation among urban and rural Tonga girls in Zambia, anthropometric measures and Tanner stages of breast development were obtained. Subjects were 774 (282 rural, 492 urban) girls ages 6–18. Results indicate that rural girls are shorter and have smaller triceps and subscapular skinfolds than their urban counterparts. Median age at menarche for the entire sample, as estimated by probit analysis, was 14.8 yea…
Timing of reproductive maturation in rural versus urban Tonga boys, Zambia
Our results demonstrate that delayed onset and slow testicular development among rural Gwembe boys is related to poor nutritional status
