High sensitivity C-reactive protein, adiposity, and blood pressure in the Yakut of Siberia

Article Abstract:

The association between C-reactive protein (CRP), adiposity and blood pressure in the Yakut, an indigenous Siberian population undergoing rapid cultural change, is investigated. The low CRP levels can be explained in part by a low prevalence of abdominal obesity and among the Yakut, the high physical-activity demands of a traditional herding lifeway likely play a role through high energy expenditure and maintenance of negative energy balance.

Influence of dietary quality on the growth of highland and coastal Ecuadorian children

Article Abstract:

The growth rates of coastal and highland Ecuadorian children vary significantly. The coastal infants' growth rates correlate with high quality foods dense in nutrients that augment breast milk, while highland infants are given more filling foods to replace breast milk and show correspondingly lower growth rates.

Health consequences of post-socialist transition: Dietary and lifestyle determinants of plasma lipids in Yakutia

Article Abstract:

The rapid social and cultural changes introduced by the collapse of the Soviet Union have resulted in important differences in cardiovascular health for indigenous Siberians. The diet and lifestyle determinants of plasma lipids in the Yakut are studied as an indigenous Siberian population.
