Abstrakt: Reflection on the low recorded incidence of malignant neoplasms among the Navajo indicated that nutrition as an environmental factor might bear on the observations. Accordingly, an evaluation of the nutritional status of a group of Navajos living on the reservation was made during the summer of 1955. The study was designed to supply basic nutritional information concerning the Navajo Indian in the areas around Ganado and Pinon, Arizona.
