Walking age

In Ecuador, an estimate of three times is available based on cognitive data (Fierro-Benitez et ai, 1986), in Indonesia a similar ratio (three times) exists based on the walking age of infants (Dulberg et al, 1983), and in China the ratio is considered to be up to six times, based on various criteria (Ma ftf/., 1989). 

In the non-cretinous portion of the population of the same treatment cohort (i.e. the ID cohort) a less severe degree of retardation of walking age was also observed.

Alexis nine and is small for his age. He gets picked on by older boys on his way to school in the morning.They push him around, make fun of his size and force him to give them money. He lives with his mother and older brother and has not seen his father for some years. He has become afraid to walk to school in the morning and has begun to skip school. When he does so he passes the day in a local park where he has become friendly with a group of older men who spend their time drinking.

We classified behaviors as states with measurable duration, or as chemosensory events, recorded as a frequency (Martin and Bateson 1993). The major states were drink/suckle, dust/mud/wallow, stand, walk or other. Chemosensory events were actions by the trunk tip contacting another elephant, investigating a substrate or performing actions called accessory trunk behaviors. We recorded the part of the body touched and the age and sex of the individual touched. The chemosensory events included sniff, check, place, and flehmen, and 10 accessory trunk behaviors (blow, dig, flick, horizontal sniff, periscope sniff, pinch, rub, suck, wrap and wriggle see Schulte and Rasmussen 1999 Bagley et al. 2006 Schulte 2006 Vyas 2006). 

The main state behaviors for elephants of all ages at the waterholes in both populations were walk, stand, drink/suckle and bathing in the mud. At Ndarakwai Ranch in Tanzania, these behaviors comprised 90% of the state activities at the waterhole (Fig. 7.1a). In AENP, the same behaviors comprised 97% of the state activities at the various waterholes (Fig. 7.1b). The elephants at Ndarakwai spent somewhat more time drinking and suckling than standing, which was reversed at AENP, but for the... 

The majority of fractures in the aging populations are caused by low impact violence such as a fall caused by slipping indoors. Many falls happen when getting out of bed, walking indoors or falling to the floor from a chair. The surroundings are often indoors and it happens in their own apartment or house. Both somatic and environmental causes of falls and following fractures must be examined and their possible association with current pharmacotherapy.
