Abstract

Bowel diseases (appendicitis, diverticulitis and colon cancer) in South African whites and populations of prosperous Western countries are similar. Among rural South African blacks with a traditional lifestyle these diseases are very uncommon or almost unknown. A study was undertaken to measure stool weight and faecal pH in South African urban blacks and whites. There was no difference in stool weight, but the faecal pH was significantly higher in whites (P = 0.002).

摘要

南非白人和富裕西方国家人群中的肠道疾病（阑尾炎、憩室炎和结肠癌）相似。在生活方式传统的南非农村黑人中，这些疾病非常罕见或几乎不为人知。一项研究旨在测量南非城市黑人和白人的粪便重量和粪便pH值。粪便重量没有差异，但白人的粪便pH值显著更高（P = 0.002）。
