摘要

糙皮病通常被认为是一种烟酸缺乏症。症状包括四个“D”——皮炎、腹泻、痴呆和死亡。从历史上看,它与高玉米和低蛋白质饮食有关。“网络瘟疫”在南欧肆虐了几个世纪,并在20世纪初在美国南方人中流行。糙皮病的社会历史是广泛的,是维生素和营养缺乏研究的经典。然而,迄今为止,这些工作都没有关注妇女死亡率是男子死亡率两倍这一事实。本文呼吁从生物文化的角度来调查与性别和性别有关的发病率和死亡率的明显差异。要做到这一点,我们必须把雌激素在女性生命周期(从初潮到更年期)中的作用与基于性别的不同食物消费模式结合起来,讨论饮食和消化。

Pellagra, Sex and Gender: Biocultural Perspectives on Differential Diets and Health

Pellagra is generally characterized as a niacin deficiency disease. Symptoms include the four “D's” - dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death. Historically, it has been linked to high maize and low protein diets. The “plague of com” was rampant in southern Europe for centuries and prevalent among U.S. Southerners in the early 1900s. Pellagra's social history is extensive and stands as a classic in the study of vitamins and nutrient deficiencies. However, to date none of this work has focused on the fact that mortality rates for women have been double that of men. This paper calls for a biocultural perspective that investigates the clear difference in both morbidity and mortality rates related to sex and gender. To do so, one must discuss diet and digestion by integrating the role of estrogen during the female lifecycle (from menarche to menopause) with differential gender-based food consumption patterns.
