In the last thirty years, sociocultural and political changes have profoundly affected the way of life of the Cree and Inuit of Northern Québec. Their health status profile has also changed. This study presents the main results of a health survey performed among the Cree and Inuit in 1982-1984 by a multidisciplinary team. Obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperuricemia and diabetes mellitus while almost unknown in the past, have now been added to the list of Cree and Inuit health problems. Crees have the highest risk for obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Hyperuricemia for unknown reasons seems more prevalent among the Inuit. Our findings suggest that further in-depth studies of chronic conditions in these communities are needed.
在过去三十年里,社会文化和政治变革深刻影响了魁北克北部克里族和因纽特人的生活方式。他们的健康状况也发生了变化。本研究呈现了一个多学科团队在1982年至1984年间对克里族和因纽特人进行的健康调查的主要结果。肥胖、动脉高血压、高尿酸血症和糖尿病在过去几乎无人知晓,如今已被列入克里族和因纽特人的健康问题清单。克里族人患肥胖症、高血压和糖尿病的风险最高。不明原因的高尿酸血症在因纽特人中似乎更为普遍。我们的研究结果表明,需要对这些社区的慢性病进行进一步深入研究。
