Postmenopausal function in context
Ecological approaches to female post‐reproductive function must consider the social context and microenvironment of the household. A model integrating these environmental factors into the analysis of late‐life well‐being (operationally defined as household health) is presented and explored in three settings: an Old Order Amish community, the neighboring community of non‐Amish, and an Ifugao community in the Philippine highlands. Intensive intervi…
Field test of self-paced work capacity
This article reports results of a field test of work capacity on 30 male farmers ranging in age from 15-54. It involved a self-paced walk from the valley floor, up the mountain wall, and return, with heart rate monitoring. The route was 2.21 km long with a vertical rise of about 200 m. At its steepest, the grade was about 34 degrees, requiring long runs of steps cut into the mountain face. The purpose of this research was to determine whether bio…
Fertility, migration, and mortality in an old order Amish community
Mortality, fertility, and migration data were used to identify population structure in a group of Old Order Amish living in New York State. Two thousand and sixteen individuals were accounted for since the community was first formed in 1948 and this is nearly total ascertainment of the population. Further, ethnography compared Amish households to neighboring non-Amish households to understand differences in health beliefs, caregiving patterns, an…

The China Productivity Project
Experiments were conducted to determine what factors cause variation in individual work output (economic productivity). Forty-five young male Chinese cycle haulers from Beijing were assessed for physiological work capacity, size and body composition, health, nutritional status, cold resistance, household social environment, and motivation. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory as well as under actual working conditions; ethnographic observ…
China productivity project
The amount of work that people do is a focal point of human life, an outcome with extraordinarily complex roots. The physical task itself, the natural setting, biological work capacity, and behavioral patterns presumably condition productivity. This paper presents a model by which work output of Chinese cycle haulers was investigated, and outlines investigative techniques including work physiology, health assessment, cold response, and ethnograph…
Worker motivation and productivity in chinese (beijing) tricycle haulers
Ethnographic assessment of worker lifestyle and motivation was paired with measurement of health, maximum oxygen uptake, anthropometry, and cold response to predict productivity in order to determine how well behavioral ratings and biological rankings of worker capacity predict actual productivity. The subjects were Chinese laborers hauling heavy loads on a cycle by human power during a Beijing winter. Worker productivity was measured as pay for …
Work performance of Chinese cycle haulers
Forty‐five male Chinese cycle haulers performed a controlled field experiment under mild winter conditions. The objective was to gain insight into factors that affect work performance. Each man hauled the same 481‐kg load around a Beijing street course of 14.18 km. The experiment was a measured sample of the same work they do routinely, on the same roads, using similar human powered hauling cycles (modified only enough to carry observers and inst…
