Abstract
This article focuses on the nutritional and health status of Hadza children. The discussion utilizes analysis of blood and stool samples from children of both sexes. The results show that Hadza children appear to be healthier than the children of neighboring farming communities, with no nutrition-related diseases despite a mobile lifestyle.
