    The influences of other cultures on the indigenous lifestyle can explain several behavioral changes between the different tribes that occupy the Brazilian territory. Regarding the changes in health, understanding that food practices are also subject to external influences, changes in the body composition of these individuals are observed. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the anthropometric profile of an indigenous population of the Fulni-ô ethnic group from Águas Belas (PE). Anthropometric data were collected from 91 individuals, of both sexes, aged between 20 and 59 years. For men, 61.1% were overweight and 72.7% were women. They were not identified in the study population. Regarding the measurement of the waist circumference measure, considering that its elevation indicates a risk for the development of metabolic complications associated with obesity, the results were: 83.6% of the women and 44.5% of the men in risk conditions. The case of the Fulni-ô indigenous adult population makes clear the importance of evaluating the anthropometric profile of indigenous groups, primarily due to the consequences of social and cultural changes that directly affect the characteristics of food and, consequently, anthropometric indicators.

    Myelopathy associated with HTLV-1 / tropical spastic paraesthesia HAM / TSP, characterized as a demyelinating, inflammatory and progressive central nervous system (CNS) disease, leading to a gait impairment in the lower limbs, hindering the locomotion of these individuals. This study aims to characterize the anthropometric profile of people with HAM / TSP. Methodology: A cross-sectional study where patients with a probable or defined HAM / TSP diagnosis according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards were treated at a referral unit in the city of Salvador. Sixteen patients of both sexes were evaluated, where they signed the free and informed consent form. A socio-demographic questionnaire and anthropometric data were collected. Results: It was observed that 62.5% of the participants were female and aged between 32 and 64 years, mean age was 53 years, as for marital status, 50% were married. It evidenced the presence of overweight in both sex and of obesity only among women. Presence of risk for metabolic complications was observed in 60% of the women according to the waist circumference and an accumulation of fat in the neck region in both sex, being 50% female and 83.5% in the masculine. Conclusion: Individuals with HAM / TSP were overweight and at risk for the onset of metabolic complications. In view of the results presented here, it opens the door to the emergence of new studies related to the anthropometric parameters, thus collaborating to broaden the knowledge of this health condition.
