Antropología médica y epidemiología en el contexto del análisis de la estructura de la población

We pointed out some doubts and dilemmas concerning population structure studies through (micro) evolution analyses of biomedical data. Intention of this paper is to stress the fact that we should be extremely couscous to generalize, and to apply the information’ s about human genetic other population (biological, bio-cultural and socio-cultural) peculiarities. Some problems are connected with insufficient information’ s about some population of interest and the data about them applied through holistic analytic approach. Thus, without the intention to be trapped in the absolute relativization, especially concerning on one side “ quality” and “ quantity” of data on the other, our intention was to demonstrate some possibilities of population structure studies applied in the interpretation of some results achieved by epidemiological investigations. The data could provoke discussion about the (1) values of the results obtained in genetic epidemiological analyses of isolated populations and (2) possibilities to utilize population structure studies in common medico-anthropological and epidemiological actions.
