Multisystem morbidity in preterm survivors: Associations with birthweight-for-gestational-age status from birth to adolescence
Background: Preterm birth is associated with increased long-term morbidity, yet health outcomes are often analysed within separate organ systems. Less is known about how disease burden and co-occurring morbidity patterns differ according to birthweight-for-gestational-age status from birth to adolescence. Objective: To assess disease burden, International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) disease chapter involvement, and morbidit…
Dynamics of facial proportions during adolescence and comparison of facial indices calculated using direct anthropometry and photographs
Background: Adolescence is a period of rapid facial growth. Facial proportions change significantly during puberty. Studies investigating facial proportions during adolescence are scarce. One method of analysis is the calculation of facial indices. Faces can be analysed using different methods. Studies comparing different approaches for facial analysis are controversial. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the dynamics of facial propor…
Shifting menstrual patterns and rising premenstrual symptoms over the past decades (1998–2025) among young Lithuanian women
Research increasingly suggests that menstrual cycle characteristics are associated with long-term physical (cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, breast cancer) and mental health. Early or late menarche, irregular cycles, changes in cycle length, menstrual bleeding may be associated with reproductive lifespan and biological aging. Recent studies also raise the question of whether the increasing incidence of PMS reflects a true increase or …
Physical, Psychological, and Behavioral Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome in Relation to Body Size and Shape
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate potential relationships between the frequency of physical, and psychological or behavioral symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in relation to body mass index (BMI) and body shapes in young women. Methods In total, 22 of the most common PMS symptoms were assessed using a questionnaire, as well as self‐reported height, weight, and body shape (using five silhouette types). A total of 6697 women aged 18–3…

The purpose of our study was to examine the eye parameters in relation to body size, proportions and composition in healthy or age-related macular degeneration affected adults, considering maternal diet during pregnancy. Statistically significant smaller corneal radius was found in maternal undernutrition groups comparing with maternal normal nutrition groups (p 0.05). Statistically significant smaller distal width of humerus and Frame index in b…
The associations of preterm birth and low birth weight with childhood growth curves between birth and 12 years: A Sitar-based longitudinal analysis
Both BW and GA significantly impacted growth, but low BW more so than early preterm birth. This underscores the need for targeted interventions for low BW children to address potential long-term growth challenges
Photoanthropometric study: Are non-professional photographs suitable for objective and reliable analysis of facial features
Vertical facial dimensions and eye measurements may not only be used interchangeably for both facial photographs and direct anthropometry, but may also be suitable for objective and reliable facial analyses
Metric and morphological analysis of pelvic scars in a historical sample from Lithuania: Associations with sex, age, body size and pelvic dimensions
The theory behind the formation and manifestation of pelvic scars, sometimes called 'scars of parturition', and particularly their potential use in determining parity history has been a debated issue among anthropologists for nearly 50 years. To date, the association between parity and scar formation still remains unclear. The present study tests the effects of sex, age, body size and pelvic dimensions on the morphological and metric features of …
