Opis:
Neck circumference (NC) is a marker of upper body subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution. Although it is commonly used in many parts of the world it appears to lack reference values as an indicator of metabolic and cardiovascular risk in the Nigerian population. A total of 2000 apparently healthy adults participated in this study. NC was measured using a non-stretchable tape between the mid-cervical spine and mid-anterior neck of each participant standing upright. In men the NC was measured just below the laryngeal prominence (Adam’s apple). Data was summarized using descriptive and inferential statistics. The alpha level was set at 0.05. The Nigerian men under study had significantly higher NC values than the women (t = 36.986, p = 0.001). The mean values for men and women below 20 years, between 21 and 30 years, 31 and 40 years, 41 and 50 years, and 51 and 60 years old were 37.29 ± 1.96 cm and 32.45 ± 1.84 cm, 37.69 ± 2.16 cm and 33.12 ± 2.52 cm, 37.67 ± 2.25 cm and 32.46 ± 2.24 cm, 38.01 ± 2.49 cm and 33.36 ± 2.67 cm, and 37.59 ± 2.29 cm and 33.14 ± 1.78 cm, respectively. The 95 percentile values for men and women younger than 20 years, 31-40 years, 41-50 years, and 51-60 years were 41cm and 36 cm, 42 cm and 38 cm, 41cm and 37 cm, 43 cm and 39 cm, and 42 cm and 37 cm, respectively. Based on age-and-sex neck circumference reference values, the means and percentiles can be used as indicators of acceptable and abnormal NC values for Nigerian adults between the ages of 18 to 60 years.

Opis:
Illegal hunting of wildlife is a major issue in today’s society, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Thus, this study assessed bush meat sales and its implication on wildlife conservation in Old Oyo National Park. Data were obtained through structured questionnaire and focus group discussion from hunters and bush meat sellers in Oke-ogun communities. The study population is comprised of 78 hunters and 42 bush meat sellers. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics. The result revealed that age group 41-60 recorded the highest for both the hunters and the bush meat sellers (50% and 52%), while age group 20-40 respondents (21% and 18%, respectively) is the least. Fourteen (14) bush meat species were identified: eleven (11) mammals and three (3) reptiles. The bush meat trade, channeling from hunters through sellers to the ultimate consumers was profitable. According to our findings, 57% of all the respondents indicated that they get their bush meat from local hunters and 43% of the respondent’s sources for the bush meat are met by personal hunting inside the National Park, on farm land, near the park or around their homes. Instrument use for hunting includes gun, arrow and bow, net, traps and domestic dogs. Majority of the respondents (54%) come about hunting through inheritance from parent and personal guidance. This confirms the fact that hunting is a traditional exercise that is inherited by male children from their father or community. Beyond the aforementioned, 3% of the respondents acquired their hunting through training and 43% of the respondents develop hunting by personal interest. These results could have come about due to lack of jobs or because of rural poverty. Strengthening law enforcement, increasing ecological awareness and environmental education, and developing mechanisms to reduce human-wildlife conflicts will assist in further minimizing illegal hunting activities in Nigeria’s National Parks.
