Abstract

This work describes health patterns common to the Kekchi in the early months of 1974. It demonstrates the importance of interactions of natural environment and culture and their combined effect on health levels.

A plan has been devised to upgrade the general health of the people and suggestions made for an extension of the original research project.

The appendix consists of an ethnography of the Kekchi of Crique Sarco, South Toledo.
