  • Association between inhalant allergies and bone mass in young adults assessed by radial quantitative ultrasound

    Open AccessAlexandra Hozáková, Darina Falbová et al.ARTICLEAnthropologiai Közlemények2026

    Background: Allergic diseases may affect skeletal health through chronic inflammation and immune-mediated mechanisms. However, evidence in young adults remains limited. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the association between inhalant allergy and bone mass in men and women aged 18–30 years. Subjects and methods: The study included 649 young adults (256 men and 393 women). Bone mass was assessed using quantitative ultrasound (Sunlig…

  • Associations between smoking, alcohol consumption and bone quality in young adults

    Open AccessSuli, Simona Sulis et al.ARTICLEAnthropologiai Közlemények2026

    Background: The effects of smoking and alcohol consumption on bone health in older adults are well established, nonetheless their influence on bone quality in young adults remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between bone quality, alcohol consumption, and smoking, considering the influence of physical activity (PA) and body composition. Subjects and methods: The sample included 1001 Slovak men and women aged 18…

  • Association Between Vegetarian Diet and Bone Mineral Density Assessed by Quantitative Ultrasound in Young Adult Women

    Open AccessDarina Falbová, Suli et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2026

    OBJECTIVES: The association between vegetarian dietary patterns and bone health remains inconsistent, particularly in young adult populations. This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to a vegetarian dietary pattern and bone mineral density (BMD) in a sample of young adult women. METHODS: The study included 648 young adult women from Slovakia (67 reporting adherence to a vegetarian diet and 581 omnivores). BMD was assesse…

  • Association Between Self‐Reported Lactose Intolerance, Additional Environmental Factors, and Bone Mineral Density in Young Adults

    Open AccessDarina Falbová, Petra Švábová et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2025

    OBJECTIVES: This study examines the relationship between self-reported lactose intolerance (LI), environmental factors, and their effects on bone mineral density (BMD) in young adults from Slovakia. METHODS: We assessed 985 adults aged 18-30 years, with an average age of 21.61 ± 2.32 years, who were enrolled in this pilot cross-sectional study during the period 2019-2023. Individual environmental factors (smoking status, alcohol consumption, phys…

  • Association between oral contraceptive use, age at menarche and bone tissue quality in young Slovak women

    Suli, Simona Suli et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2025

    0.768, r = -0.012). In conclusion, oral contraceptives and age at menarche did not significantly impact bone tissue in our sample.

  • Association between normal weight obesity and lipids profile in Slovak women aged 38 to 59 years

    Open AccessDaniela Ferjančeková, Petra Švábová et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Review2024References: 44

    Obesity and its associated health problems are an issue, especially when weight gain is not outwardly visible. Individuals with the same Body Mass Index (BMI) may differ in body fat percentage and may unknowingly suffer from normal weight obesity (NWO). Middle-aged women are at high risk if their body composition changes due to factors such as age, health status or reproductive history. This study investigated the relationship between NWO and lip…
