  • Regional Differences in Low Birth Weight in Spain

    Open AccessVicente Fuster, Pilar Zuluaga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2015

    The geographic and demographic dimensions of Spain, in terms of surface and number of inhabitants, and its heterogeneous socioeconomic development offer an adequate opportunity to study the provincial differences in birth weight from 1996 to 2010, focusing on possible factors determining the relative frequency of low birth weight. The study analysed geographic differences with regard to biological, demographic and socioeconomic factors that inter…

  • Influence of Changes in Political Barriers and of Geographic Distance on Kinship Inferred from Surnames and Migration Data in Olivenza, Spain, and Surrounding Portuguese Areas

    Jorge Roman-Busto, J Rom N-Busto et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2015Cited by: 2References: 6

    The existing relationship between human populations is a function of their migratory and genetic exchange, which will be inversely proportional to the distance separating them. The effect of geographic distance on population structure may be estimated by means of isonymic methods that use information on the surnames present in a territory as an approximation to the distribution of allele frequencies. The objective of this study was to analyze whe…

  • Contribution of Immigration to Adolescent Fertility in Spain Considering the Reproductive Pattern in the Country of Origin

    Sonia Edith Colantonio, Sonia Colantonio et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2014Cited by: 1References: 16

    Adolescent fertility displays a trend that does not follow-and even runs contrary to-the general temporal fertility pattern. Multiple factors determine this trend, including socioeconomic conditions and cultural patterns at both immigrants' place of origin of and their destination. This article analyzes adolescent fertility in Spain with regard to country of maternal origin using records of deliveries (1980-2008) and information from countries wi…

  • Stillbirth incidence in Spain

    Open AccessVicente Fuster, Pilar Zuluaga et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2014Cited by: 1References: 48

    This analysis focuses on determining differences in the risk of stillbirth in Spain by comparing native and foreign mothers with regard to bio-demographic factors

  • Genetics of Population Exchange Along the Historical Portuguese–spanish Border

    Open AccessJorge Roman-Busto, Miro Tasso et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2013

    The present analysis compares the distribution of surnames by means of spatial autocorrelation analysis in the Spain–Portugal border region. The Spanish National Institute of Statistics provides a database of surnames of residents in the western Spanish provinces of Zamora, Salamanca, Cáceres, Badajoz and Huelva. The Spanish and Portuguese patterns of surname distribution were established according to various geographic axes. The results obtained…

  • Factors determining the variation in birth weight in Spain (1980–2010)

    Open AccessVicente Fuster, Pilar Zuluaga et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2013

    The birth weight has decreased since 1980 in Spain, but has slightly recovered in recent years. Meanwhile the percentage of foreign maternities increased to 17.3% in 2010. Logistic regression models assess the different influence of variables known to determine low birth weight (weeks of gestation, sex, etc.) and other maternal characteristics (age at delivery, professional activity, etc.). The progressively greater contribution of foreign women …

  • Portuguese migration to the Canary Islands

    Jorge Roman-Busto, Fuster et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2012

    As a part of a wider analysis of population and genetic exchange between Spain and Portugal, the long-term pattern of Portuguese immigration to the Canary Islands was studied by means of the frequency of Portuguese surnames. A database of 1,995,833 individuals was obtained from the Spanish National Statistics Institute (2006). Among the 826 most frequent surnames to appear, 79 surnames of Portuguese origin were selected. The distribution of these…

  • Mate Choice in Olivenza

    Open AccessJorge Roman-Busto, Vicente Fuster et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2010

    The mating pattern in a population determines the next generation gene pool and therefore its genetic structure. Besides socio-cultural and geographic factors, political barriers may influence the formation of couples. The present paper studies how the change of national border affected the mating pattern of Olivenza in Badajoz Province (Spain), which experienced a change of domain from Portugal to Spain in 1801. For the period analysed (1750–185…
