Blood lipids, infection, and inflammatory markers in the Tsimane of Bolivia
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: Little is known about blood cholesterol (blood‐C) levels under conditions of infection and limited diet. This study examines blood‐C and markers of infection and inflammation in the Tsimane of the Bolivian Amazon, indigenous forager farmers living in conditions that model preindustrial European populations by their short life expectancy, high load of infections and inflammation, and limited diets. Methods: We use multivariate models to determine the relationships between lipid levels and markers of infection and inflammation. Adult Tsimane (N = 418, age 20–84) were characterized for blood lipids, cells, and inflammatory markers in relation to individual loads of parasites and village region. Results: Most of the Tsimane (60%) carried at least one parasite species, averaging 1.3 species per person. Serum high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), total cholesterol (total‐C), and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) were below the U.S. norms and varied inversely with markers of infection and inflammation: C‐reactive protein (CRP), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), immunoglobulin (Ig) E and eosinophil count. Although no relationship of parasite load to blood‐C was found, there was an association between anemia and parasite prevalence. Conclusions: We conclude that the highly infected environment of the Tsimane is related to low levels of blood total‐C, HDL‐C, and LDL‐C. This may suggest a potential reason why arterial disease is largely absent in the Tsimane. Am. J. Hum. Biol., 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Among Tsimane villages, there is no substantial variability in risk of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia or peripheral arterial disease.
“Despite higher mortality and infectious morbidity in more remote Tsimane villages, we have not observed substantial variability among Tsimane villages in their risk of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia or peripheral arterial disease [10], [17], [18].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
