Are ethnic differences in lung function explained by chest size?
BACKGROUND Ethnic differences in lung function (LF) are recognised in adults and children. Most prediction equations for LF are derived from whites, so non-whites are at risk of erroneous assessment. It was hypothesised that differences in chest dimensions would explain differences in LF between Asian (Indian) and white schoolchildren. AIMS To quantify the impact of chest dimensions on LF, wh...
متن کاملGender differences in carbohydrate loading are related to energy intake.
We demonstrated that female endurance athletes did not increase their muscle glycogen concentration after an increase in the dietary carbohydrate intake (58 --> 74%), whereas men did (Tarnopolsky MA, SA Atkinson, SM Phillips, and JD McDougall, J Appl Physiol 78: 1360-1368, 1995). This may have been related to a lower energy or carbohydrate intake by the women or due to an inherent gender differ...
متن کاملEthnic Differences in the Relationship Between Insulin Sensitivity and Insulin Response
OBJECTIVE Human blood glucose levels have likely evolved toward their current point of stability over hundreds of thousands of years. The robust population stability of this trait is called canalization. It has been represented by a hyperbolic function of two variables: insulin sensitivity and insulin response. Environmental changes due to global migration may have pushed some human subpopulati...
متن کاملLarge variation in salinity tolerance in chickpea is explained by differences in sensitivity at the reproductive stage
Salinity is an ever-increasing problem in agriculture worldwide, especially in South Asia (India, Pakistan) and Australia. Improved genotypes that are well adapted to saline conditions are needed to enhance and sustain production in these areas. A screening of 263 accessions of chickpea, including 211 accessions from ICRISAT’s mini-core collection (10% of the core collection and 1% of the entir...
متن کاملEthnic differences in maternal dietary patterns are largely explained by socio-economic score and integration score: a population-based study
BACKGROUND The impact of socio-economic position and integration level on the observed ethnic differences in dietary habits has received little attention. OBJECTIVES To identify and describe dietary patterns in a multi-ethnic population of pregnant women, to explore ethnic differences in odds ratio (OR) for belonging to a dietary pattern, when adjusted for socio-economic status and integratio...
