Health and fitness : a comparative study of Canadian Inuit and Siberian nGanasan / Andris Rode ... [et al.].: R74-48/1995E-PDF
"This study collected comparative data on the anthropometric physiological and biochemical characteristics of the Native population of the highly acculturated society of Igloolik, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, and the less developed community of Volochanka, Taimir, Russia. We compared 379 Canadian Inuit (1989-1991) and 146 Siberian nGanasan (1992-1993) in terms of body composition, growth and development, fitness and strength, lung function, blood lipid and fatty acid profiles and major cardiovascular risk factors. There were no significant inter-population differences in the heights of adults or children, but the Inuit men, boys and girls were heavier and significantly fatter than their nGanasan counterparts. The Inuit women were significantly lighter than the nGanasan women but both groups of women were substantially fatter than the men of their group"--Abstract.
