Urbanization, migration, and indigenous health in Peru
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN BIOLOGY(2023)
摘要
IntroductionWe compare demographic, socioeconomic, and anthropometric characteristics and blood pressure (BP), between rural and urban Peruvian indigenous women. These are preliminary results from a project on urbanization, migration, and health. MethodsData were collected cross-sectionally (2019) and compared between a rural (n = 92) and an urban (n = 93) community. ResultsHeight: mu = 148.3 +/- 5.0 cm (range = 137-162), weight: mu = 62.0 +/- 11.5 (range = 37.5-108.7), median waist circumference = 89.0 (IQR = 15.8, range = 64.0-126.0), BMI = 28.3 (IQR = 6.2, range = 16.7-40.0), with no significant rural-urban differences. Systolic but not diastolic BP was significantly higher in urban versus rural women (median = 110, IQR = 18, range = 80-170 vs. median = 120, IQR = 10, range = 90-170, p = .002 and median = 70, IQR = 17, range = 50-100 vs. median = 70, IQR = 10, range = 60-100, p = .354), respectively. ConclusionsDespite major lifestyle differences, there were no anthropometric differences between rural and urban women. Higher systolic BP in urban women may reflect social/economic stressors rather than dietary factors.
