Description
Summary:Summary. The stature of Ammassalimiut in 1935 and 1965-1966. The Ammassalimiut way of life and nutrition have completely changed. But in 1965-1966, unmixed Greenlanders have the same stature as their fathers, the 1935 Eskimo, living in a traditional way. Is it because the diet of traditionally living Eskimo was already very rich in proteids and lipids and very poor in ingested carbohydrates, while the majority of the populations who have become taller have seen their diet become richer in proteids ? Résumé. Le genre de vie et l'alimentation des Ammassalimiut ont radicalement changé. Mais les Groenlandais non métissés de 1965-1966 ont la même stature que leurs ascendants, les Eskimo de 1935 vivant en milieu traditionnel. Est-ce parce que les Eskimo traditionnels avaient déjà un régime hyperprotéidique et hyperlipidique extrêmement pauvre en hydrates de carbones ingérés, alors que la majorité des populations qui ont grandi ont vu leur régime s'enrichir en protéines ?
