| Abstract: | In Zambia, located in southern part of Africa, drought is frequently happened in dry season but recently heavy rainfall seriously damages crops in rainy season. Life of the people depending on farming are liable to be greatly affected by environmental change, which decrease provision of food, furthermore it affects their nutritional and health conditions. We have conducted longitudinal body measurements for the people living in rural villages to reveal the variation of nutritional status which reflects environmental change. In this summer, we stayed with villagers for two months to conduct dietary and physical activity surveys to know their energy balance and dietary consumption. We can detect factors related with nutritional variations by examining what types and how much amount of food villagers actually eat and how they actually work. Moreover they will be useful in understanding how the people are living in rugged environment maintain their health condition. |
