The role of strong-tie social networks in mediating food security of fish resources by a traditional riverine community in the Brazilian Amazon

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Social networks are a significant way through which rural communities that manage resources under common property regimes obtain food resources. Previous research on food security and social network analysis has mostly focused on egocentric network data or proxy variables for social networks to explain how social relations contribute to the different dimensions of food security. Whole-network approaches have the potential to contribute to former studies by revealing how individual social ties aggrega… Show more

“…The pattern of declining local food consumption, increasing consumption of nutrient-poor nontraditional foods, substantial decreases in health, changing food-sharing networks, and increases in diet-related disease documented in Pacific Islands are similar to that observed elsewhere, particularly among indigenous populations (e.g., Gracey, 2000, Lowitt, 2014, Scelza et al 2014, Ghosh-Jerath et al 2015, Laberge Gaudin et al 2015, Mertens et al 2015, Collings et al 2016). …”

“…Esta cultura regional permite que os trabalhadores retornem às suas residências, local onde realizam sua refeição. Portanto, o padrão alimentar decorrente do consumo de alimentos in natura (9) e minimamente processados contribui positivamente para a manutenção do índice de massa corporal dentro dos limites da normalidade (22,25) . Assim como verificado em Tefé/ AM, algumas populações asiáticas apresentam índices de sobrepeso e obesidade inferiores a 25% (22) .…”

“…Portanto, o consumo de pescado duas ou mais vezes por semana contribui para a manutenção do índice de massa corporal dentro dos limites da normalidade (22). Esses efeitos são atribuídos às propriedades nutricionais do peixe, uma vez que este alimento é rico em aminoácidos sulfurados e em ácidos graxos insaturados, o que o torna um importante fator protetor contra o acúmulo de calorias e outros processos degenerativos associados a substâncias tóxicas oxidantes presentes no ambiente (9) . O modelo multivariado de fatores associados com o sobrepeso mostrou, na pesquisa em questão, associação do aumento do IMC em função do gênero e da circunferência abdominal.…”
