Lennon et al. recently published an article in MilitaryMedicine that reported the health results of the Wayuu people and compared those with age-and gender-matched individuals in the USA.The Wayuu data were obtained as part of a civil-military medical mission located roughly 15 miles northeast of Riohacha, Colombia, at the Laachon Mayapo School attended by the Wayuu people who participated in the study.The results indicated that the occurrence of hypertension among the Wayuu people is lower than that of the Americans, and the weight-for-age curve from 2 months through 17 years is similar to that of the Americans 1 .
