Résumé

An insight into the folate nutritional status of the population is important from a public health perspective. The protective effect of folate against neural tube defects (NTDs) is widely recognized. To assess the health and nutritional status, especially folate status, of vulnerable hill-tribe groups, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 197 schoolchildren and 136 women of childbearing age in Chaloem Phra Kiat District, Nan Province, Thailand. The nutritional status of the study group was investigated by dietary survey, and blood samples were taken to determine hematocrit, protein, and serum and red blood cell folate. Anthropometric measurements were taken to assess body size, composition and nutritional indexes. The health and nutritional status of the hill-tribe schoolchildren and women of childbearing age were found to be unacceptable, particularly inregard to folate status, which was indicated by low folate levels found in the blood samples, and in the intake of this micronutrient.

Résumé

The post-tsunami health and nutritional statuses of survivors were surveyed three months after the disaster struck. Non-participant observations and questionnaires were used to study the effects of the disaster on their lifestyles and health while residing in temporary shelters provided by the government and private donors. Anthropometrics were measured and dietary surveys conducted to elicit nutritional status. Our findings indicated good management of drinking water in the temporary shelters. Toilet construction and water supply were adequate, but wastewater and sewage systems were poorly managed. The study group still suffered from injuries after the disaster, and complained of back pain, stress, and sleep disorders. Most in the study group had unsatisfactory health behaviors, and obesity was an increasing problem among female participants.

Résumé

A cross-sectional study was performed to investigate 250 volunteers from Pramongkutklao Hospital, Samphanthawong district, Wat Chaiyapreukmala and Wat Pradoo in Taling Chan district. They were divided into groups of 35 apparently healthy males, 16 males with coronary heart disease, 37 males with dyslipidemia and 9 males with hypertension with age ranges of 24-62, 56-69, 25-69 and 26-75 years, respectively. The female groups were composed of 55 apparently healthy females, 10 females with coronary heart disease, 73 females with dyslipidemia and 15 females with hypertension with age ranges of 27-65, 33-67, 22-73 and 38-70 years, respectively. Platelet fatty acids levels were found to have no significant difference between the different male groups. In the female groups, the alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) level in hypertension was significantly higher than in coronary heart disease (CHD) (p<0.05), whereas the arachidonic acid (AA) level in hypertension was significantly higher than in the apparently healthy females (p<0.05). No correlation was found between platelet fatty acids and age or anthropometric parameters, which indicate that platelet fatty acids may not depend on either age or anthropometric parameters. Positive correlations were shown between ALA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), AA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), ALA and the diastolic blood pressure, DHA and total cholesterol (TC), and between low density lipoprotein choleoterol (LDL-C) and plasma glucose. Negative correlations were shown between LA and EPA, AA and EPA, EPA and DHA, EPA and the systolic blood pressure, and AA and the diastolic blood pressure.
