Dietary Intake and Food Patterns of Zuni Adolescents

In a trend similar to that seen in other Native-American populations, Zuni Indians of northwest New Mexico demonstrate high rates of type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) and gestational diabetes, and escalating incidence of cardiovascular disease. To curb the progress of this disturbing trend, it is impor...

Description
Summary:In a trend similar to that seen in other Native-American populations, Zuni Indians of northwest New Mexico demonstrate high rates of type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) and gestational diabetes, and escalating incidence of cardiovascular disease. To curb the progress of this disturbing trend, it is important to identify causes and suggest strategies for change. Cole et al provide nutrient intake and food pattern data pertaining to Zuni adolescents and provide insight into potential areas for primary prevention through dietary intervention.
