Health and nutrition in a Philippine highland community.
The article deals with the nutritional habits of the people of Bauko, an upland community in the northern Philippine island of Luzon, and its implications for health preservation and disease management. Data on dietary behavior were collected through a 24-hour-recall survey administered to a representative sample of students and adults. This method provided researchers with the information needed to infer the people's concept of food, to explore differences and similarities in the dietary behavior of young and adult individuals, to describe strategies utilized in food preparation, and to establish the nutritional content of the diet's main components.
