The Health Consequences of ‘Modernisation’: Evidence from Circumpolar Peoples
Roy J. Shephard (University of Toronto),Andris Rode (Brock University, Ontario)
In this book, the authors assess the impact of modernization on various populations in the circumpolar regions. They examine the adaptations shown culturally, behaviorally, and physically by the indigenous peoples, and discuss the effect of changes in habitual activity, diet, and general life style due to more urban living patterns on body composition, pulmonary function and susceptibility to disease.
