Summary

An observation has been made of the demographic and sanitary characteristics of a small semi-rural population, as well as of the nutrition standards and frequency, preferences and a version for food. The longevity of the population is high. The anthropometric data reflect a light ponderal excess and laboratory analyses indicate high cholesterol blood rates. Food habits are conditioned by the degree of availability and accessibility to the foods and are strongly influenced by cultural standards.
