Direct and Indirect Determinants of Body Mass Index in Both Major Ethnic Groups Experiencing the Nutritional Transition in Cameroon
In the context of rapid nutritional transitions in Africa, few studies have analyzed the etiology of obesity by considering the driver pathways that predict body mass index (BMI). The aim of this study is to innovatively identify these driver pathways, including the main sociodemographic and socioecological drivers of BMI. We conducted a rural-urban quantitative study in Cameroon ( n = 1106; balanced sex ratio) to explore this issue. We recruited…
Physical Activity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Tarahumara and Mestizo Adolescents from Sierra Tarahumara, Mexico
Objectives Our purpose was to explore the levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the relationship between CRF, physical activity, and other physical traits in traditional and nontraditional Tarahumara, and Mestizo adolescents from Sierra Tarahumara, Mexico. Methods A sample of 87 adolescents aged 16.9 ± 1.2 years (mean ± SD ) performed the Margaria step test to quantify CRF. Physical activity was estimated using the International Physical …
Development and validation of the body shape scale (Boshas) for assessing body shape perception in African populations
The BOSHAS is the first sex-specific scale of real African models photographed in face and profile, including large body shape variability. The validation protocol showed good validity and reliability for evaluating body shape perceptions and dissatisfaction of Africans

Large Body Size as a Socially Valued Factor Determining Excess Weight and Obesity in the Context of the Nutritional Transition in Senegal
Like most African countries, Senegal is experiencing a nutritional transition. Global drivers of sedentary behavior and high-calorie dietary intake, together with local anthropological drivers of large body size as a socially valued characteristic could be exposing the population to obesity. This study therefore set out to assess the impact of this sociocultural factor on the nutritional status of Senegalese adults. We set up 14 focus groups (n=8…
Nutrition Transition and Biocultural Determinants of Obesity among Cameroonian Migrants in Urban Cameroon and France
Native of rural West Cameroon, the Bamiléké population is traditionally predisposed to obesity. Bamiléké who migrated to urban areas additionally experience the nutrition transition. We investigated the biocultural determinants of obesity in Bamiléké who migrated to urban Cameroon (Yaoundé), or urban France (Paris). We conducted qualitative interviews ( n = 36; 18 men) and a quantitative survey ( n = 627; 266 men) of adults using two-stage sampli…
The relevance of the side-view in body image scales for public health
Variation in body shape assessed by several bio-anthropometrics related to health and nutritional status was larger for side than front body outlines. Integrating side views in body size scales would improve the accuracy of body size assessment and thus, the assessment of behaviours leading to overweight, as well as symptoms of body image disturbances, in Africa and potentially in other populations
Perception gustative et couverture des besoins énergétiques chez les primates
La perception gustative permet d’orienter les choix alimentaires des primates dans les différentes niches écologiques où ils ont évolué. Les possibilités de choix sont cependant limitées par le poids corporel des différentes espèces, selon des relations allométriques dont nous présentons les caractéristiques chez les primates strepsirrhiniens et haplorrhiniens comparativement aux autres ordres de mammifères. Le métabolisme, globalement économe en…

Social valorisation of stoutness as a determinant of obesity in the context of nutritional transition in Cameroon
Lactase Persistence in Central Asia
The aim of the present study is to document the evolution of the lactase persistence trait in Central Asia, a geographical area that is thought to have been a region of long-term pastoralism. Several ethnic groups co-exist in this area: Indo-Iranian speakers who are traditionally agriculturist (Tajik) and Turkic speakers who used to be nomadic herders (Kazakh, Karakalpak, Kyrgyz, Turkmen). It was recently demonstrated that horse milking practice …
Migrations et pratiques culinaires
La cuisine, telle qu’elle est pratiquée dans les villes africaines au sud du Sahara, inquiète ses consommateurs. À Yaoundé, les migrants béti et bamiléké s’efforcent d’entretenir l’identité de leur cuisine, tout en faisant face aux dangers pour la santé des nourritures issues des standards de la modernité : trop d’épices, de calories, de gras. Mais cet équilibre lui-même est menacé par manque de temps et du fait de la disparition de certains ingr…
Determinants of overweight associated with stunting in preschool children of Yaoundé, Cameroon
Poor preschool children of Yaounde are facing concomitant stunting and overweight. More studies are needed to better assess the impact of maternal factors
Taste acuity of obese adolescents and changes in food neophobia and food preferences during a weight reduction session
Food neophobia in the context of a varied diet induced by a weight reduction program in massively obese adolescents
Relationship between taste thresholds and hunger under debate
La perception gustative de l'Homme peut-elle varier en fonction de l'état physiologique
Although studies of humans in a state of hunger or satiety show variations in hedonic responsiveness (preference/aversion) to sugar, the taste recognition thresholds for different substances appear to be stable individual characteristics, as Pangborn, beginning in 1959, observed on a small sample of human subjects. However, a recent study suggests that caloric deprivation is associated with increasing taste sensitivity (as defined by the recognit…
Prevalence of overweight and obesity for urban adults in Cameroon

Stratégies de subsistance et Perception des aliments des populations autochtones de Yakoutie arctique (Districts de Basse et de Moyenne Kolyma)
A study of food preferences of the indigenous peoples of Arctic Yakutia was conducted on a population sample consisting of 102 Evens, 52 Yakuts and 22 Chukchis. Responses recorded on analogue scales corresponding to 69 food items have been supplemented by blind tests concerning the perception of solutions of sucrose, sodium chloride, and PROP, to determine hedonic responses to salt and to sucrose (sweet likers vs. sweet dislikers) and the PROP st…

New perspectives on taste and primate evolution
In various environments where primates are presently observed, as well as in forests and savannas which have been inhabited by australopithecines and early hominids, there are (or there have been presumably) categories of substances eliciting taste signals associated with stereotyped responses. Such is the case for various soluble sugars of fruits and nectars, attracting consumers, and for several plant compounds in which bitter or strongly astri…

Age at menarche and urbanization in Cameroon
Status quo data on the age at menarche were obtained on samples of Cameroonian girls living in urban (Yaoundé) (n = 205), suburban (n = 505) and rural areas (n = 201). Mean ages at menarche, estimated by probit analysis, are 13.18 years (SD 1.08) in Yaoundé, 13.98 years (SD 1.55) in the suburban area, and 14.27 years (SD 1.65) in the rural area. The early menarcheal age observed in Yaoundé girls attending 'privileged schools' (12.72 years, SD 1.1…
