In 1959 and 1960, during the annual survey conducted by the Federal Northern Health Services in the area of the Northwest Passage, the diet and living conditions of some 1500 Eskimos who live in this area were studied and blood and urine samples were obtained from 40-50% of this population. Hemoglobin, blood cell morphology, serum protein-bound iodine, serum proteins, serum lipids and serum total cholesterol estimations, urinalyses, and agglutination studies for brucellosis were carried out. Hemoglobin levels were in the normal range; however, increased contact with civilization appeared to be associated with lower hemoglobin levels. Eleven per cent of the Eskimos showed eosinophilia. Serum proteins were normal. Serum lipids and serum cholesterol levels were higher in Eskimo children living in a government residential school than in a comparable group living on the Barren Lands. Serum protein-bound iodine levels were in the upper euthyroid range. Diabetes mellitus occurs among Eskimos. Sporadic cases of brucellosis also occur.
1959年和1960年，在联邦北部卫生服务局对西北航道地区进行年度调查期间，对该地区约1500名因纽特人的饮食和生活条件进行了研究，并从该人群的40%至50%获取了血液和尿液样本。进行了血红蛋白、血细胞形态、血清蛋白结合碘、血清蛋白、血脂和血清总胆固醇测定、尿液分析以及布鲁氏菌病凝集试验。血红蛋白水平在正常范围内；然而，与文明社会接触增加似乎与较低的血红蛋白水平有关。11%的因纽特人出现嗜酸性粒细胞增多。血清蛋白正常。居住在政府寄宿学校的因纽特儿童的血脂和血清胆固醇水平高于生活在不毛之地的对照组。血清蛋白结合碘水平处于甲状腺功能正常的上限范围。因纽特人中有糖尿病发生。也有布鲁氏菌病的散发病例。
