“…In general Tsimane children are short and lean, but have low rates of wasting and arm muscularity similar to US children, suggesting adequate protein (Foster et al, 2005). However, stunting is prevalent (Gurven, 2012), and low bone mineral density suggests the possibility of micronutrient deficiencies (Stieglitz, Beheim, Trumble, Madimenos, Kaplan, & Gurven, 2015;Stieglitz, Madimenos, Kaplan, & Gurven, 2016). Tsimane are a natural fertility population, with a total fertility rate of 9.1 births per woman (Blackwell, Tamayo, Beheim, Trumble, Stieglitz et al, 2015;Gurven, Kaplan, & Supa, 2007; McAllister, ; women breastfeed their infants on-demand, weaning at 19 months on average (Veile et al, 2014).…”
