    In the MNA Mini Nutritional Assessment video, Dr. Juergen M. Bauer discusses the increase of malnutrition in the elderly (e.g., in the community, nursing homes, and hospitals). In some studies, 50% of the elderly in nursing homes suffer from malnutrition, which suggests it is under-recognized. The causes and consequences that can lead to malnutrition include decreased appetite, age associated changes, changes in functional status (e.g., cannot feed themselves), dementia, and depression. There has been a correlation between malnutrition and mortality. If a person is malnourished, it can increase his or her hospital length of stay, and it can lead to more complications, such as a decrease in the immune system. A way to help identify malnutrition…

    Margaret Mead and Mary Catherine Bateson are not household names, but to anthropologists and other academics these two women have helped advance and shape the world of Anthropology. In the early 20th century, Margaret Mead was a part of small but influential group of people to bring anthropology to the forefront of people’s minds. With the likes of Franz Boas and Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead has helped compose the standards used throughout anthropology as a discipline. She has compiled more than 500,000 works during her incredible career and is still one of the most read Anthropologists not only within undergraduate classrooms, but all over the world.…

    Paleo-Indians's Identity

    For many years, anthropologists believed that Native Americans were from Siberia. New evidence suggests that people from other Asian groups also came to America, perhaps at different times. Scientists who study the shape and size of a skeleton are known as osteologists. Osteologists study human remains to learn about health, disease, and ancestry. Based on a recent study of Asian and Native American skeletons, osteologists believe that Native American ancestry includes more than one Asian group.…

    The Anthropology Research Facility is the first of its kind to permit systematic study of human decomposition. The 1.3 acres of land made famous by Dr. Bass has recently been expanded. The research facility is approximately 2 acres across; which, is dedicated to research and systematic study. This addition provides space for studies using advanced technology to quantify how bodies interact with the environment. The skeletal collections provide unparalleled opportunities to study modern human skeletal variation, pathology and trauma. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment made by this location is the Bass Donated Skeletal Collection. This collection now consists of over 1700 individuals and is the the largest collection of contemporary human skeletons in the United States. The Forensic Data Bank (FDB) was also established by the researchers of this facility. The Forensic Data Bank contains data on over 4080 forensic cases in the United States and has recently expanded to include contemporary individuals from Central and South America, Europe, and Asia. The Forensic Data Bank has been instrumental in documenting changes within human populations. Another one of these active body farm facilities is the Forensic Osteology Research Station at Western Carolina University. Researchers active at this facility are primarily interested in taphonomy, or what happens to a body after a person has died. These scientists focus on how decomposition is affected by the environment and how other post-mortem processes, such as scavenging or rain, affect the body itself. This facility may be best known for their twice yearly cadaver dog training sessions, as they are among one of the few forensic facilities in the United States that offer this kind of program. Trained cadaver dogs can aid law enforcement in finding and recovering a…
