Overlap and hidden adiposity in adolescents across BMI-defined weight categories
Background: Standard BMI screenings often overlook adolescents with hidden health problems due to high body fat despite a normal BMI or very low body fat levels. Objective: This study aimed to analyse adiposity in adolescents across BMI-defined weight categories: underweight (UNW), normal weight healthy (NWH) normal weight obese (NWO) and overweight or obese (OVOB), focusing on distributional variability, overlap, and sex differences. Subjects an…
Timing of Sexual Initiation in Polish Adolescents
This cross-sectional study examined the timing and multilevel correlates of first sexual intercourse among 3,151 Polish adolescents (49.8% boys; mean age = 15.7 ± 1.6 years). Using Cox proportional hazards regression and structural equation modeling (SEM), gender-specific associations and pathways linking community, family, and individual factors to sexual debut were assessed. The median age at first sex was 17.49 years for boys and 18.08 years f…
Variability of anti-Müllerian hormone and folliculotropic hormone levels in women of reproductive age in relation to normal or impaired ovarian function
The demographic crisis in Europe is growing due to an increasing proportion of couples with fertility disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine the variability of ovarian reserve markers with age in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in relative to women with normal ovarian function. Two hormones were analyzed: anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and folliculotropic hormone (FSH). This study d…
Time intervals between the age at menarche and the onset of sexual activity in Polish women born between 1959 and 2001
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess time intervals between the age at menarche (AM) and age at sexual initiation (ASI) in Polish women born before and after the political transformation period in Poland. METHODS: Participants were 518 women born between 1959 and 2001 in Poland. AM and ASI were based on self-report. Three birth cohorts were distinguished based on the year of birth: I (1959-1979), II (1980-1989), III (1990-2001). Three …
School-Related Stressors and the Intensity of Perceived Stress Experienced by Adolescents in Poland
Higher stress reactivity during adolescence is a vulnerability marker of exposure to various environmental stressors. This study aimed to investigate the association between a high level of perceived stress experienced by adolescents and stressful stimuli induced from school environment, peer, and parental relationships. The data used were from a cross-sectional, observational study conducted in a stratified sample of 1846 adolescents (13-18 year…
Revealing burden of elevated blood pressure among Polish adolescent participants in a population-based Adopolnor study
New category for elevated blood pressure introduced and described by JNC-7 for adults and adopted by the 2004 Working Group for children and adolescents stands for a pre-sign to hypertension. The ongoing rise in prevalence of high blood pressure in children and adolescents demands their regular screening. The objective of this study was to determine prevalence of elevated BP in Polish adolescents and explain the role of sex, age and body weight s…

< 0.001). In cohort I (born between 1970-1975), mean age of initiation was 18.97 years, in cohort II (1976-1980) 18.67 years, in cohort III (1981-1985) 18.53 years; cohort IV (1986-1990) 18.27 years, and cohort V (1991-1995) 16.41 years. Two socio-economic variables significantly affected the age of the sexual activity onset: the type of school and level of education. The mean age of sexual debut among Polish women has significantly decreased ove…
The association between socioeconomic status and health-related quality of life among Polish postmenopausal women from urban and rural communities
Andrzej Michałowski, Milena Teska, Formation of the younger Pre-Roman Iron Age cultural model in Wielkopolska
The start of the younger Pre-Roman Iron Age was the time of a transformation of the communities residing in this region into a new civilizational quality that was radically different from the quality of the preceding period. In the interior of the continent, a certain “Celt fashion” could be noticed, which was manifested in adaptation of patterns of both material culture and, most likely, elements of Celtic rites. Its course appears to be the key…
The Association Between Menstrual Cycle Characteristics and Perceived Body Image
The increasing prevalence of negative body perceptions among adolescent girls and the tendency towards wishing to be thinner have become a cultural norm in Western culture. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to developing a negative body image due to physical and sexual changes occurring during puberty. This study aimed to evaluate the association between different measures of body image perceptions and different phases of the menstrual…

On the doorstep to senility
The movement of the baby boomers into the middle ages made the 45–65 age cohort the largest and the fastest growing segment of population in the first decade of the 21st century. This demographic expansion will have multiple consequences for ageing society. This paper aimed to provide an overview on biology of midlife transition. Physical characteristics, midlife-specific morbidity and mortality were described with focus to sexual dimorphism in p…
Percentile distribution of blood pressure readings in relation to body mass index
Recent upward trends toward elevated blood pressure and increased weight expressed in terms of body mass index in children and adolescents call for regular monitoring of their physical growth and age-related changes in blood pressure. This requires adequate tools – reference values of a normal blood pressure range. The main objective of this study was to provide sex- and BMI-specific percentile reference values for systolic and diastolic blood pr…
Assessing social status effects on age of primiparity in Polish women
The maternal first birth age is an important predictor of the size, composition and future growth of population and a wide range of birth outcomes such as birth weight, multiple births, and birth defects. This paper aims to test the hypothesis that age of mothers at first childbirth depends on their socio-economic status and lifestyle behaviour. The examined sample emanated from the WOMID national cross-sectional survey on middle-aged women’s hea…
