Continuing bone expansion and increasing bone loss over a two‐decade period in men and women from a total community sample
As shown in 744 adult men and women aged 30–49 at entry and followed for 21.4 ± 0.9 years there is continuing subperiosteal expansion in both sexes as well as continuing and increasing endosteal surface resorption. In this longitudinal study, bone loss (as shown by medullary cavity expansion) begins by the 5th decade and increases thereafter. The smaller gains at the outer bone surface are essentially independent of the larger losses at the inner…
The problem with one‐day dietary intakes
Social research methods applied to nutritional assessment
As nutritionists recognize the importance of social factors influencing nutritional status, methods for collecting, processing and evaluating social data need to be incorporated into the nutrition survey. This paper describes one method of using social research techniques in nutritional assessment. Each step in the research design, from the selection of the problem to stating the conclusions, is explained in relation to nutrition evaluation and i…

The decision to cease breast feeding did not have a clearly defined physiological basis in over half of a sample of 150 Jamaican mothers questioned on the feeding regimes of their infants. Neither income, nor place of residence, appeared to be related to the decision to cease breast feeding although the source of information on infant feeding did show some association. A variety of commercial infant food products was” available; about 40% of the …
The Differentiation of Households in a Ghanaian Community
One hundred and eleven households in a community in Ghana were studied to assess the applicability and generality of the concept of structural differentiation as proposed by F. W. and R. C. Young (1968). Eight individual-based and six household-based indices were used. The analysis shows that, for these households, a modification of the Youngs' proposal extracts more order from the data. This modification involves 1) a consideration of individual…
