Abstract

Mother health and infant care are extremely significant. There are many organisations working on this issue. The main criteria of a healthy motherhood and child have been set up by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The WHO defines health as ‘a state of completephysical, mentaland social well-being and notmerely the absence of diseaseand infirmity.’It is well recognised that health is not the exclusive domain of medical science because every culture, irrespective of its simplicity and complexity, has its own beliefs and practices concerning diseases. The present paper discusses the possibilities of using data on maternal and infant health of present village population to understand the status of mother's and child's physical condition of bygone population.
从民族考古学的角度理解过去的母婴健康
母亲保健和婴儿保健极为重要。有许多组织在研究这个问题。世界卫生组织(世卫组织)制定了健康母婴的主要标准。世界卫生组织将健康定义为“一种完全的身体、精神和社会健康状态,而不仅仅是没有疾病和虚弱。”“众所周知,健康不是医学科学的专属领域,因为每种文化,无论其简单或复杂,都有自己对疾病的信仰和实践。”本文探讨了利用现村人口母婴健康数据了解过去人口母婴身体状况的可能性。
