Abstract
The goal of this project was to examine the prevalence of obesity and its associations with various diseases, in both the First Nation and non-First Nation populations in the isolated coastal community of the Bella Coola Valley on the West coast of British Columbia, Canada. 1. Are BMIs for Nuxalk in the Bella Coola Valley higher than non-aboriginals in the Bella Coola Valley? 2. Are diseases associated with higher BMIs in the Bella Coola Valley? 3. Are diseases more prevalent for Nuxalk or non-aboriginals in the Bella Coola Valley? --P.6.
