PURPOSE: The research aims to find out the relationships between agriculture and health state in peri-urban Kenya.
METHODS: We randomly selected 70 households who were former of vegetable and crop cultivation and mixed forming( vegetable and crop cultivation and husbandry) (male: 46 ± 10 yrs, n=35, female: 41± 9yrs, n=37)in Wangige region(peri-urban setting), Republic of Kenya. Participants Data on body characteristics, daily activity by wearable devices, food consumption by the 24-hour recall, and well-being were collected by trained enumerators. RESULTS: In the research, there were positive correlation between weight (M = 72.1 kg, SD = 14.8) and intaking of home garden foods in men(M = 37.2 % SD = 16.5) , r = .35, p = < .05, n = 35. And weight (M = 74.2 kg, SD = 14.8) and time of over of activity level 2(M = 88.1 min, SD= 95.3) in women, r = .34, p = < .05, n = 37, and And time of over of activity level 2(M = 88.1 min, SD= 95.3) and number of agricultural fields(M = 1.3 , SD = 0.6) in women, r = .55, p = < .001, n = 37. There was negative correlation between weight (M = 74.2 kg, SD = 14.8) and intaking of home garden foods(M = 37.8 %, SD = 13.3) ,r = .27, p = < .05, n = 37, and Body Mass Index(BMI) (M = 28, SD = 5) and intakeing of home garden foods(M = 37.8 %, SD = 13.3),r = .38, p = < .05, n = 37, in woman.
CONCLUSIONS: In the Peri-Urban setting in the Republic of Kenya, the cause of increasing weight and BMI suggested that affect the decreasing intaking of home garden foods and the number of agricultural fields in the female. Much of people works agriculture of main or side job in Kenya. Agricultural activity of role in peri-urban settings might affect daily activities and food consumption for the prevention of non-communicable diseases.
