Abstract

Anthropometric, biochemical and haematological nutritional parameters were measured in 103 (65 men, 38 women) Durban Zulu adults (urban) and 109 (41 men, 68 women) Tugela Ferry Zulu adults (rural). Men conformed to an ideal weight for height whereas women were 18% overweight in Tugela Ferry and 30% so in Durban. Mean arm muscle circumference in men was between the 10th and 20th centiles. Other nutritional parameters were similar to those accepted internationally as normal. In particular the serum albumin level was normal in both urban and rural Zulus. There was little change in the parameters with age except that hand grip as measured by dynamometry fell with age (P less than 0,05). Serum albumin levels fell with age in women (P less than 0,01) but not in men. Nine mothers of babies suffering from kwashiorkor showed normal nutritional profiles.

摘要

对103名（65名男性，38名女性）德班祖鲁族城市成年人和109名（41名男性，68名女性）图盖拉费里祖鲁族农村成年人进行了人体测量、生化和血液学营养参数检测。男性身高体重符合理想标准，而在图盖拉费里，女性超重18%，在德班超重30%。男性的平均上臂肌肉周长处于第10至第20百分位之间。其他营养参数与国际公认的正常参数相似。特别是城市和农村祖鲁族的血清白蛋白水平均正常。除了通过握力计测量的握力随年龄下降（P<0.05）外，这些参数随年龄变化不大。女性血清白蛋白水平随年龄下降（P<0.01），而男性则不然。9名患有夸希奥科病婴儿的母亲营养状况正常。
