We analyze anthropometric variables of a society of forager-horticulturalists in the Bolivian Amazon (Tsimane') in 2001-2002. Community variables (e.g., inequality, social capital) explain little of the variance in anthropometric indices of nutritional status, but individual-level variables (schooling, wealth) are positively correlated with nutritional status. Dietary quality (foods high in ani...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to estimate the dominant handgrip strength and its correlations with some hand and arm anthropometric variables in 101 randomly selected Indian inter-university female volleyball players aged 18-25 years (mean age 20.52±1.40) from six Indian universities. METHODS Three anthropometric variables, i.e. height, weight, BMI, two hand anthropometric variables, ...

BACKGROUND Anthropometric variation can be fruitfully utilized to investigate microevolutionary processes. Anthropometric variations in the Indian subcontinent based on stature and three indices (Cephalic Index, Nasal Index, and Total Facial Index) are highly variable and discriminative among populations across geographical regions. AIMS Anthropometric variation in stature, Cephalic Index (CI...

We aimed at studying MAU and its relationship with anthropometric variables in type 2 diabetic and non diabetic females of Dakishina Kannada district in Indian population. 205 participants without diabetes and 226 participants with type 2 diabetes of the study group were recruited. Out of which 73 females were diabetic and 111 were healthy subjects and used as control. These participants were f...

OBJECTIVE To determine and verify how anthropometric variables correlate to ureteric lengths and how well statistical models approximate the actual ureteric lengths. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this work, 129 charts of endourological patients (71 females and 58 males) were studied retrospectively. Data were gathered from various research centers from North and South America. Continuous data were...
