Among the Gouro masks, Zamble, a composite animal figure, and Gù, a fine-featured woman's face, are known to art lovers around the world. Today their profane avatars, Flali and Zaouli, are at the heart of masquerades that are much enjoyed by audiences. But this appreciation concerns only the ‘pretty’ aspects, that is to say the civilized and orderly side of an ensemble that also has a reverse side: the disease masks, sprung from disorder, avatars of the more powerful Zàùlì, described as the wild brother or husband of Zamble in the genealogical idiom employed by the Gouro when referring to the masks. These masks are created by each generation of young people and are central figures in rituals of inversion that express the upheavals of the times. At the same time as they establish their creators’ reputations, they serve as a record of these events for the Gouro. Descended from the initial trio of masks (Zàùlì, Zamble, Gù), they prolong the trend to secularization of this family of masks from the sacred wood. In tracking this tradition over twenty years we can see a process of resacralization. When the youths’ comments are analysed in the light of encyclopaedic knowledge acquired in the course of anthropological research on health, we can understand the necessity of the mask figure, and going further can understand what an ugly profane mask is, what it presents and the role it plays. In return the Zamble mask and its associates take on another dimension, a dimension that opens up exploration of the unknown via their intrinsic ambiguity and the transgressive behaviour they allow during the time of the ritual.

Obesity is one of the diseases whose situation has become alarming in Côte d'Ivoire. As it is known, the young people represent the labor force of tomorrow. So we investigated the situation of obesity among youth. We took the case of Nangui Abrogoua University which is full of students from Ivory Coast, as well as students from countries in the sub region. Our study shows that the majority of students, about 74.01 % had a normal weight. There is however 20.51% who was overweight, and 1.13% who was obese. Also overweight and abdominal obesity were more present in women than men. This low rate of obesity was explained by the fact that it is a more active population with a lower level of income. Our study highlighted that in addition to physical inactivity, obesity is also related to income level.

This study was conducted to ascertain the Sanitary state of beverages (Gnamankoudji, Bissap and Tomi) sold in the streets of Daloa (Côte d'Ivoire). To conduct the study, a survey was carried out to diagnose the different non-alcoholic artisanal drinks sold in the town of Daloa. The diagnosis revealed that 87.5% of consumers buy the drinks from the vendors while 12.5% produce them themselves. These drinks are consumed mainly by 77% of young people (˂ 30 years old), mostly pupils and students. Furthermore, 83.5% of the respondents have no knowledge of chemical contamination of the beverages they consume and various ailments have been reported by consumers. Toxicological analyses carried out on these three (3) beverages revealed that they present a risk to the health of the consumer. This is because the level of contamination of these beverages is three (3) to five (5) times higher than the European recommendations on the maximum tolerable level of PAT (50 µg.L-1) in fruit juices and derived beverages.
