Aging and Health Challenges of Tribal Population: An Empirical Study Among Car Nicobarese of Nicobar Island of India
The aim of the present study was to examine the aging and associated health challenges among the Car Nicobarese. The study was conducted among 165 Car Nicobarese (20–80 years old), a tribal population of Nicobar Island of India. A comparative assessment of this tribal population with other island/coastal regions tribal population groups in India and in global context has been highlighted. Anthropometric variables, physiological functions, and adi…
Bio-Social Predictors of Hypertension Among Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women
In the present study, the contribution of various biological and lifestyle factors toward progression to hypertension are examined among menopausal and postmenopausal women. A cross-sectional study among 245 women of 20 to 65 years was conducted. Besides blood pressure, fat percentage using bio-electric impedance analyzer and adiposity indices such as body mass index (BMI), waist–hip ratio (WHR), and waist–height ratio (WHtR) were taken. Mean, st…
Demographic Transition and Population Ageing: Building an Inclusive Culture
The worldwide trend of growing elderly population is an outcome of declining fertility rate and increase in life expectancy. Demographic data on population ageing, growth rate, health and socio-economic aspects across gender, class and region has been discussed. The article has incorporated a special focus on policy measures in each of the above areas. It is advocated that all relevant stakeholders need to initiate a support framework that can en…
Functional Ability and Nutritional Status of Indian Elderly~!2009-09-26~!2009-10-28~!2010-09-02
The present study was conducted among the adult urban females. A total sample of 289 females including young adult females aged 20-25 years and older females aged 55-80 years was studied. Four anthropometric and five physiological variables were measured for all the subjects. Body mass index (BMI) and Waist hip ratio (WHR) were computed. Stature, grip strength, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) showed a decline wit…
Nutritional Status and Ageing among Car Nicobarese and Nolia Males of India~!2009-09-01~!2009-11-12~!2010-09-02
The aim of the present study was to compare the changes in nutritional status with advancing age among two underprivileged population groups of India. The study was conducted on 165 Car Nicobarese ,a primitive tribal group of Car Nicobar island and on 155 Nolias belonging to ‘other backward classes’ of Orissa in India. The subjects in both the population groups were in the age range of 20-80 years. Stature, weight, upper arm circumference, hand g…
Nutritional status and cardio-respiratory functions among adult Raji males, a hunter and gatherer tribe of the Indian Himalayas
The present work studies the anthropometric characteristics, nutritional status, and cardio-respiratory functions of Rajis, a tribal community that live at medium altitudes (914–2286 m) in the Indian Himalayas. Sixty-three Rajis in the age range 21–70 years were studied. Six anthropometric and six physiological variables were studied, and the body mass index (BMI) was computed. All anthropometric and physiological dimensions showed a decline with…
Nutritional Profile and Socio-Economic Status of Saharia, a Primitive Tribe of India
A study was conducted among Saharia, a primitive tribe of central India, with an objective to assess the nutritional profile and associated socio-economic factors.A cross sectional sample of 364 adult males and females aged 18-60 years was studied.Stature, body weight, skinfold thickness, circumferences, fat percent, grip strength and blood pressure were measured on each subject.Body mass index, Trunk extremity ratio and Grand mean thickness were…
Environmental Influence and Health Status of Elderly~!2008-01-21~!2008-05-26~!2008-06-10
The study was conducted in order to explore and compare the health status of the elderly living in two different environmental setups.Height, weight, heart rate and blood pressure were measured in 259 subjects ranging from 60-85 years.This process includes 120 elderly from old age homes and 139 elderly living with their families.Body mass index was calculated statistically.Nutritional status was assessed using the BMI guidelines of WHO.Significan…
Age, altitude and gender differences in body dimensions
The present study was conducted to study ageing process in a high altitude population and a population residing in plains with a special emphasis on gender differences in physical and physiological traits. An endogamous population of the Rajput caste group staying in the Sirmaur District (altitude = 2438.4 m a.s.l. - 3048 m a.s.l.) of Himachal Pradesh was studied. A total of 151 subjects, males (n = 81) and females (n = 70) between the age range …
