Nutritional status and its association with physical fitness, physical activity and parasitological indicators in youths from rural mozambique
BACKGROUND: Little information exists about the relationship of nutritional status and motor performance conditional on asymptomatic parasitemia in rural African children. AIMS: The aims of this study were to (1) determine if malnourished youths from rural African areas have lower levels of physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) compared to normal weight youths, (2) verify the biological relevance of anthropometric criteria used to clas…
Heritabilities of somatotype components in a population from rural Mozambique
There have been few genetic studies of normal variation in body size and composition conducted in Africa. In particular, the genetic determinants of somatotype remain to be established for an African population. (1) To estimate the heritabilities of aspects of somatotype and (2) to compare the quantitative genetic effects in an African population to those that have been assessed in European and American populations. The sample composed of 329 sub…

Somatic Growth of a School-Aged Population from Mozambique
