Market Integration and Secular Changes in Anthropometric Characteristics in Two Maya Communities From Yucatan, Mexico
OBJECTIVE: To compare the changes in children's height, weight, and BMI from two Maya communities during 1986-2023 in order to analyze if their differences in degrees of participation in market economy are reflected in secular changes in growth measures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We compared the changes in height, weight, and BMI of 1463 children (6-12 years) from two communities (Dzeal and Yalcoba) differing by speed and degree of market integration…
Secular Changes in Growth in the Maya Village of Yalcoba: 1986–2023
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the changes in children's height, weight, BMI and rates of stunting and overweight and obesity over three periods: 1986-1987, 1996-1998, and 2023 for the community of Yalcoba in the Yucatan Peninsula. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four hundred forty (6-to-15 years) children measured in 2023 were compared with data obtained in 1986-1987 (n = 675) and 1996-1998 (n = 628). Z-scores of height and BMI were calculated to estimate percenta…
Bridging Graduate Education in Public Health and the Liberal Arts
The University of Massachusetts Amherst is part of Five-Colleges Inc, a consortium that includes the university and four liberal arts colleges. Consortium faculty from the School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the university and from the colleges are working to bridge liberal arts with public health graduate education. We outline four key themes guiding this effort and exemplary curricular tools for innovative community-based and multidi…
Spatial Environmental Modeling of Autoantibody Outcomes among an African American Population
In this study of autoimmunity among a population of Gullah African Americans in South Carolina, the links between environmental exposures and autoimmunity (presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA)) have been assessed. The study population included patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 10), their first degree relatives (n = 61), and unrelated controls (n = 9) where 47.5% (n = 38) were ANA positive. This paper presents the methodology use…
