I would like to thank the people of Salubarana and Kalia, Mamuju, and the children of the elementary schools in SD Mangkura and SD Cambaya, Makassar. They have made contributions to the success of field researches which came to be the basis of this thesis.

For the study in Salubarana and Kalia, I would like to thank to Bob Wahyudin, Indahwati Nursyamsi, Isra Wahid and all the staff of Puskesmas Lara for their friendship and help in recruiting participants; to Annemarie Terhell and Jan Willem Koot, who introduced me to the clustering methods. For the study in Makassar, I would like to thank all the teachers from SD Cambaya and SD Mangkura for their assistance and kind cooperation during the fieldtrip. Special thank goes to John Maria Tuyp for his great assistance during the fieldtrip in Makassar as well as laboratory work in Leiden, and for his jokes which helped me to relax, even in the very tight schedules of lab work. I would also like to thank the medical students of Hasanuddin University (all of whom I can not mention by name) who accompanied and assisted me during the fieldtrip. Their young ideas and enthusiasm really helped the study to run smoothly.

Special thanks to Dr. Erliani Sartono, who has been so good in teaching me about various aspects of field work, use of the computer data base, laboratory skills, and help in preparation of my research paper, among many other things. I appreciated it so much. To Yvonne Kruize-Hoeksma, thank you for sharing your technical skill and taking care of the supply and sending of all necessary equipment to the field.
