Pygmies' hunter and gatherers have tbe smallest body sizes in all the population in the world, still keep hunting and gathering in their unique daily lives. They have two different daily lifestyles and occupations. In the semi-settlement village, they work on agriculture in own field or do paid work in agricultural people. And sometimes they encamp in the forest, and do hunting and gathering. Tbere are many studies about BAKA pygmies from many directions of learning, such as sociology, economics, and cultural anthropology. And there may be a hint for "sustainable society" in their special and traditional lives. In this study, we did the anthropometric measurement for BAKA pygmies' children (2-19 years old) in South-East Cameroon. To know the nutritional status, we assess their unique lifestyles is consisted on the human premise of "living" or not.
