Genetic and biochemical characteristics in the Roma minority in the South Bohemia Region

Original language description

OBJECTIVE: At present, health characteristics of Roma minority within the Czech Republic are generally unknown. Therefore we examined a Roma population for some anthropometrical, biochemical and genetic parameters. DESIGN: Groups include Roma aged above18 years (men, women), with permanent residence in the South Bohemia Region. The Roma group (302 individuals) was selected using the snowball sampling method - the same method was used to select the non-Roma control group (78 individuals) for total cholesterol and blood sugar reference values. The main non-Roma control group was selected using the quota selection method (298 individuals). All participants completed a life style questionnaire, had their body measurements taken, were weighed, had their blood pressure and heart rates measured, had a capillary blood sample taken. RESULTS: The non-Roma population had a lower Body Mass Index (BMI) (25.86 +- 4.23 vs. 27.45 +- 6.48 kg/m2, p = 0.0004). The difference in BMI and weight was found
